Jacinda Ardern delivers final speech to NZ parliament
Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern retired from politics after a career marked by empathetic leadership during crises. Ardern steered New Zealand through natural disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2019 Christchurch mosque massacre.
She will now devote herself to fighting online extremism as part of the Christchurch Call project and become a trustee of Prince William’s Earthshot Prize. Despite her reputation, Ardern faced escalating abuse online and was targeted 50 times more than any other high-profile figure in New Zealand.
