Thank you for writing this Nick. I know Jacinda will not be taking any of this lightly and I don't know how she bears it; she is a kind, decent, intelligent woman who all through the last five years has also been raising her wee daughter (being the first PM ever in NZ to give birth in office) as well as leading our country through some of its darkest times. I know she never had personal ambition but a desire to help make things better for those who most need it. She is loved despite what we see from the vitriol. I am so grateful to call her my friend.

Thanks Nick - well written, and I'm in total agreement. From the outset, I've been amazed at Jacinda's ability to understand and speak in a knowledgeable manner about so many things. In fact, about everything, it seems to me. She is amazing! And yes, I despair at the misogyny and general misinformed nastiness.

I hope that people spare a thought, over Christmas, at our good fortune to live in this great country right now. And fingers crossed for some decent weather! Make it a Rosé in the sun for me, please.
