New Zealand PM Ardern launches 'COVID election' campaign promising jobs

WELLINGTON - New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Saturday launched her re-election campaign promising a “laser-like” focus on boosting jobs and economic growth hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It has been 99 days since New Zealand had any domestic transmission of COVID-19, a rare achievement as the pandemic rages globally, and it has re-opened the economy after undergoing a complete shutdown to eradicate the coronavirus. The funding will allow businesses a subsidy of on average NZ$7500, and up to NZ$22,000, to hire unemployed New Zealanders.

Recent data suggests unemployment due to COVID-19 was not as dire as expected, and business confidence had improved due to the government’s hard and early response to the pandemic.

The number 1 English speaking politician in the world.

Get ur hair done girl..

I wouldn't vote for Covid!

May she win the next term.

Love her

It makes complete sense that a leader that has demonstrated competence, including beating COVID19 into submission, runs for re-election. Meanwhile in the USA...

She's got my vote .

Globalist puppet

Dave Grohl

Most important reason for her success. Was she tightened up boarders ......EARLY....probably a lesson here Mr Johnson . Do you think ?

Another lord of the rings

Big-faced woman hahaha

Scotland and New Zealand population 5million Sturgeon Tory media backed SNP C19 4867excess deaths 973/m Ardern 22excess deaths 4.4/m. Ardent LANDSLIDE!!!! Please.If not Scotland will take you in a heartbeat 💗.

Curious about the long-term viability of their Covid-19 strategy. NZ has virtually zero herd immunity, and tourism makes up a large chunk of their economy. They cannot keep up the mandatory 2 week quarantine for much longer and when they drop it, will they see a spike in cases?

If I could vote in NZ, Arden would have my vote 🤗

jacindaardern Hardworking PM

She promised that 3 years ago and yet 🤔

She's just wrecked the international tourist industry

Why the long face?
