'We're just having a bit of an earthquake here..'

A moderate 5.6-magnitude earthquake rattled New Zealand's North Island but failed to crack Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's composure as she conducted a live television interview.

— ABC News May 25, 2020 St John Ambulance and New Zealand Police both said there were no initial reports of injuries or damage. There was no tsunami warning. "Quite a decent shake here, if you see things moving behind me," she said, smiling, as she quickly regained her poise and continued the interview.

A shallow 6.3 quake in the South Island city of Christchurch killed 185 people in 2011, while a 7.8 shake slightly further north in 2016 was the second strongest ever recorded in the country.

Wow what a fabulous ambassador this lady is thinking on her feet with a smile !

A bit of an earthquake 😂 She has been brilliant

One of the best politicians ever.

She's mint. Pure sound.

Our gang would be calling the safety man at this stage

So used to seeing Jacinda Ardern coping well in a crisis, it's actually quite delightful to see her making light of an earth quake.

Anyone talking shit about being at home with the kids during covid-19 lockdown. Please refer to this video. Thanks.

The darling of the MSM. How charming

Was that a shift to the left or the right?

Dictator unruffled by slight tremor 👍

I’m moving to NZ

Unflappable 👍🏻😂

I really like her! She's great!

I wish we had Jacinda Ardern to Take Charge and Control of Irelands Cornovirus Pandamic Crisis.

I'd shake her beehive.

If it was as Trump how would you frame it?

Meanwhile Leo is on the drink in the Phoenix Park.

What a down to earth PM 😊

The media darling can do no wrong... how’s about those draconian police powers that she brought in? Nothing? No?

XadrezVerbal e oatila como sempre Jacinda mantém a calma.

She's such an incredibly capable leader. Not even 40 years old. Just amazing.

No reporting on Leo boozing in the Phoenix Park yet, no?
