“Having served as prime minister from 2017 to 2023, Dame Jacinda Ardern is recognized for her service to New Zealand during some of the greatest challenges our country has faced in modern times,” Hipkins said.
“Leading New Zealand’s response to the 2019 terrorist attacks and to the Covid-19 pandemic represented periods of intense challenge for our 40th prime minister, during which time I saw first-hand that her commitment to New Zealand remained absolute.” Ardern said she had been in “two minds” about accepting the honor because so much of her work was a “collective experience” of all New Zealanders.
First elected as prime minister in 2017, Ardern won international acclaim for her empathetic handling of the 2019 Christchurch mosque massacre, in which 51 Muslim worshippers were killed and another 40 wounded. She rode a wave of “Jacindamania” to win a second term in 2020 but her center-left government struggled in its final months as it battled soaring inflation and a housing affordability crisis.
