She told Oprah that “there was no moment, no ‘thing'” that led to her standing down.

Yet I saw her interviewed at the start of her book tour and she said that a “cancer scare” was the reason she considered quitting.

Perhaps someone reminded her of the 50,000 cancelled breast screenings that must surely have resulted in women having their cancer advance without treatment, or women missing the treatment window and dying.

That would have been “awkward” for her to smile her way out of…

  Yup those certainly happened.
  
  I was a newly minted “cardiac patient” in Feb 2020 and was given a call back to reevaluate in March./April. That only happened in August or so, so I spent an extra 4 months on some nasty drugs that I didn’t need.
  
  While I was waiting for my son to come pick me up, I got chatting to a bloke that had had a cancer callback defered by 5 months. The delay had caused him to go from more than 50% chance of survivability to sorry mate, you’re going to be dead within 6 months.
  
  He was extremely matter of fact about it considering he’d only been given the news a few minutes before that.
  
  The cardiologist I spoke with was chewing his own arm off in frustration. By the end of 2019, they’d worked very hard to eliminate all the backlogs for cardiology in Canterbury. A new patient could be processed in a couple of days if needed.
  The shut down put them 5 months behind again and they were having to play games at a higher risk level than they would like.

  Yes indeed.
  
  https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/489636/tens-of-thousands-miss-out-on-cancer-screening-due-to-covid-19-disruptions
  
  From May 2023:
  
  About 50,000 women have missed out on breast cancer screening in the past two years because of Covid-19 disruptions that could create more problems for years.
  
  The figure is part of a damning report into breast screening that calls the system racist, and says improvements recommended 12 years ago have not happened.
  
  The independent Quality Improvement Review for Breastscreen Aotearoa was prompted by delays in the Wellington region that a separate review found could have harmed some women, meaning their cancers may have been in a more advanced stage when they were discovered.
  
  The new, national review found the Covid-19 backlog could create a long tail of problems, because all the extra women screened in the catch-up phase would come up for routine screening again every two years until they reached the maximum age.
  
  And as early as 2021 the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ (BCFNZ) launched a petition urging the Government to put resource into finding women who have missed their mammograms and restoring New Zealand’s breast screening programme.
  
  https://www.breastcancer.org.nz/content/breast-cancer-cases-going-undetected-because-covid-19-sign-petition-help-find-them
  
  BCFNZ warns that at least 133 women across Aotearoa New Zealand have no idea they have breast cancer right now and predict the number of undetected breast cancer cases will grow as both BreastScreen Aotearoa (the national screening organisation) and private clinics deal with the fallout of extended lockdowns.
  
  The 133 missing women can be attributed to the national breast screening programme being put on hold when the country went into Alert Level 4 on 18 August, and then running at reduced capacity during Level 3.
  
  Data also shows that since the arrival of Covid, a higher proportion of invasive cancers have been found later than they could have been, and participation in breast screening has been set back 10 years, with younger women and vulnerable populations most affected.
  
  As a result, deaths from breast cancer could soon be on the rise and urgent action is required to reverse this alarming trend.

    All it takes is one data analyst to extract a list of people who have had screening, and sort it by those where the most recent screening date is oldest.
    
    Then one breast screening administrator to sit at a phone calling them.
    
    It irritates me that organisations like this demand what would have been millions in more funding when the resources to do it are right there, if the useless managers could just pull their fingers out and do some bloody managing.

I have been happy to move on from that time but she has pitched herself back into the public eye mainly for purposes of developing her own bank balance. Sir Ian Taylor is right that her latest move and aligned media propaganda is hard to stomach.

  That is so right. The video is no doubt carefully edited to get the message across that the author intended.
  
  At the time she resigned (February) there was in-depth coverage in which JA claimed that she had been considering her future since the previous November. The inescapable conclusion then was that JA had reached a point where she felt she no longer had the stamina to carry on in the face of inevitable political defeat. The upcoming (2023) election was doomed for Labour with her as leader. Not even the subsequent ‘policy bonfire’ instituted by Hipkins could turn this around.

    Actually there was almost inevitable political defeat on the cards in 2020. It’s not hard to imagine that much of the drama over a relatively mild respiratory virus was simply a great political opportunity. In NZ, USA & many other countries.

    Her resigning and moving overseas was basically self imposed exile. She knew she was toast and is probably realising now that she may not be able to live in NZ for a very long time. Otherwise why wouldn’t she be in NZ promoting her book.

  Its not just for her bank balance, its out of fear. The general public are gaining awareness about how ineffective the vaccines were, and how dangerous they were.
  
  The 2nd Covid inquiry is hearing more about how Ardern, Bloomfield, Baker, et all knew the risks of the vaccines, and that the vaccines did not work.
  
  If a person takes a vaccine or drug by order of the PM, and they die, either that same day, or later from side effects, the PM and her cronies are accountable. i.e. homicide.
  
  No different to a GP, who prescribes a dodgy drug and someone drops dead, they are accountable.
  
  We have just heard about the successful court trial of the Ozzy Mushroom lady being found guilty on all counts. Ardern and her cronies are no less accountable for the people in NZ that were sent to their death.
  
  Dozens of people I know about (someone’s friend or family member) who left to go get jabbed (or lose their job, or be cut off from family) who died with 12-24 hours. Let alone those who struggled with after effects who croaked within a few days or weeks.
  
  And any death caused by the vaccine within 30 days of the jab, were counted as unvaccinated deaths.
  
  And we should not forget that Bloomfield double the delay period between 1st and 2nd jab, telling the public “it made the jabs more effective”. Which was bullshit, because he did that because of the Tsunami of Myocarditis events.

    We should expect at least 10’s of people to have died on day of getting jab even if there were no side effects, and many hundreds in subsequent month – because around 90-100 people die every day of natural causes and almost all adults were vaccinated.

      Yes, but you do not expect younger people with no health condition, to die on the day of getting the jab, after feeling very unwell after getting the jab, and you do not expect people to drop dead in the vax clinic minutes after the jab.

I wonder why, in this Dictatorial Mode, Jacinda did not say to Maori, “Here is the vaccination – come and get it, show responsibility, or you and your intergenerational living whanau will die, more likely than non-Maori, or be seriously hospitalised beyond their capacity to handle circumstances.” Or was being soft persevering some March 15 compassion, and avoiding Willie Jackson succeeding the Labour Party so it would crash and burn? Why not the full conspiracy theory which, in this video, sees the light of day?

  She did give $950,000,000 of public money to “Maori” for their “covid response” as one of her first acts.
  
  That’s over a thousand dollars each.
  
  I doubt that any maori got the benefit of that particular largesse, leaving the question- where is the money?

  As far as I am aware the media never asked and the green party never confirmed, that all its members had had the vax. I am highly doubtful they all did and the same is likely true for TPM. So when JA was up trying to ‘encourage’ everyone, a decent chunk of her government had not.

Jacinda was the worst prime minister in New Zealand history.

She accuses anyone of criticising her policies of misogyny.

Just as maori say anyone who disagrees with them as being racist.

  I mean, it’s not like people were talking like this about her, when she was in power:
  
  “…a government of childish, petty control-freaks” No Right Turn.
  
  “This seems to have been Ardern’s sole strategy through her 11 aimless years in Parliament: emote over a problem, then propose a working group or other process as a substitute for taking responsibility, decisions and actions herself.” Matthew Hooton
  
  “In many ways, this Government has been both ineffective and hypocritical” – Michelle Duff, Jacinda’s biographer.
  
  What’s become of the young woman who captivated the electorate sixteen short months ago? The Jacinda who promised New Zealanders a “transformational” government inspired by the politics of kindness. Where has she gone? – Chris Trotter
  
  “If anyone sees Jacinda Ardern in the flesh, could you please contact authorities so we can return her to the people.” – Andrew Dickens
  
  This Government can barely deliver a letter. – Duncan Garner
  
  I like Jacinda …but I’m just finding it irritating being spoken to like I’m a slightly IQ-deprived child. It’s starting to wear very thin. – Polly Gillespie
  
  But, just ask Jacinda to set forth a compelling case for “transformational” change in any of the policy areas dear to her heart: child poverty; affordable housing; climate change; and she is reduced to ums and ahs and buzzwords. It’s embarrassing. – Chris Trotter
  
  But I also believe that a lot of her cabinet ministers are incompetent, and others are highly unscrupulous, and that this government makes operational and policy blunders on a scale we haven’t seen in our last few decades of technocratic centrism – Danyl Mclauchlan
  
  I don’t believe a word of what she and her Government now say about their Covid response. I now do not trust them to keep Covid out of this country anymore. – Heather du Plessis-Allan
  
  …Ardern’s insistence that the constant and never changing diet of trials, tribulations and troubles afflicting Labour’s coalition partner have nothing to do with her …amounts to an abdication on her part of the responsibilities that come with occupancy of the highest office in the land….Of course, she will get away with what is tantamount to a failure of leadership of quite staggering proportions. – John Armstrong*
  
  Auckland University Professor of Medicine Des Gorman rated the Government’s response as “somewhere between two and three” out of 10.
  “I’ve seen health systems manage medical emergencies worse than this but it takes some doing,” Gorman told Hosking. “It’s like we’re living in a parallel universe.”
  
  To use a simple metaphor – who defends a castle by calling everyone inside yet leaves the draw bridge down? New Zealand did. To continue the metaphor, government called on everyone to come inside the castle, leave their businesses behind, lock themselves up, and prepare to defend themselves … yet did not pull up the draw bridge and close the border effectively. Nor did we sufficiently test or track those coming into the country. This should have been a priority even if imperfectly introduced. As it stood, little to nothing was done other than requesting forms to be filled out and ‘pinky promises’ made that people would follow the rules. – Simon O’Connor, on the lockdown.
  
  They do not understand economics. They do not understand business. Even more frightening, they do not understand the importance of the institutional legacy they have inherited and are in the process of destroying. – Damien Grant

    In some sense it will be National’s to lose. People aren’t unhappy. There are people who wish Chris Luxon wasn’t so ineffective and hopeless, but those people are largely of the right, so they have nowhere to go other than a coalition partner. The middle voters seem relatively happy, and there is a recovery starting to flow through. By next year National should be sitting pretty (unless they screw it up) .

      I think your logic is exactly what the National party are thinking. I would however point you to England where the ‘conservative’ voter base revolted and replaced the Tories with Labour. Now the Reform party appears to have taken the majority of the conservative vote and the Tories may be left as a minor party.
      
      https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/uk-opinion-polls
      Reform 34%
      Labour 25%
      Conservative 15%
      Lib Dems 11%
      
      Look at the recent poll results here and tell me that NZF and ACT couldn’t take Nationals place if polling trends continue. NZF + ACT, %19.5 NAT %32 LAB %29.5
      If enough National voters flee to NZF or ACT then those parties might be able to form a government without NAT or with them as a support partner. We also know that NZF are happy to go with Labour as required.
      
      Political parties should be working to keep their voter base happy, not assuming that the have nowhere else to go.

        Your analysis is faulty in a couple of ways:
        
        1) The conservative voter base didn’t revolt and replace the Conservatives with Labour, they simply stayed home and with FPTP, that was enough.
        
        2) We simply don’t have the energising issues, like rape gangs and a constant stream of illegal immigrants arriving by boat, to cut through the complacency of the average National voter.

        The Tories in the UK were a two term govt (10 years). They were also thoroughly useless. Way more useless than our current govt. If Luxon is still a wet blanket at the end of his second term, yeah, they won’t get a third. But they have to be doing something consciously wrong to not get a second term.

    Sadly correct. The polls would indicate that a good portion of our population would be quite happy to go back to Hipkins / Ardern land.
    
    Ironically Nationals failure to out poll Labour (generally tied on preferred PM and ~2.5% ahead of Labour in latest poll), has led to Labour not being forced to remove its hopeless leadership team. If Labour get back next year, and that’s a decent possibility, we will once again be led by the hopeless. This time with some crazy Greens and racist TPM.
    
    Very few NZ governments are one term governments. After the spectacular failure of the last Labour government you would not expect this government to only last a term, but here we are.

        No. Before covid hit, although national were ahead of labour, act where low, national would not have the numbers to form a government. The polling would put the 2020 election before Covid in the hands of Winston to select who to form government with.

Hipkins today in the NZH bemoaning being made a little accountable.

As I have stated before – Hipkins/the MoH were informed through Regenron (a HUGE US pharma) that the “Vaccines” were not preventing omicron transmission. This was in March 2021 and was definitive data.

Therefore the mandates – imposed later that year – had no basis. They were the opposite of “following the science”. It was merely cruelty and control and many lives were harmed and careers ended.

As my small protest I handed in my teachers registration the moment Hipkins announced the mandates.

  Most other countries allowed two ways for someone to be safe to go out:
  
  1. Get a vaccination. Reduced transmissibility somewhat, reduced the chance of getting COVID somewhat. Not to zero, but reduced.
  
  2. Test regularly. Actually gave you a lower risk than someone vaccinated – test every morning, safe for the day.
  
  The problem is that our government boxed themselves in with nanny state / govt knows best policies. They didn’t want people to be able to test themselves, because they might not tell govt if they were positive. So they tried to stick with PCR, and to ban RATS. That didn’t work because we couldn’t process the PCR volume nor turn the tests around fast enough. So we couldn’t let people test themselves, so we mandated vaccines or vaccine passports for many people.
  
  Meantime, the whole PCR edifice broke (partly because they refused some new labs to come in, because govt), and so we had RATS. But they weren’t nimble enough to change policy to take that into account.
  
  They drove all the people in central agencies into the ground by over reaching with govt doing everything, controlling everything, deciding everything. But that meant those people (who were only average to start with) just didn’t have headspace to think or plan. And so we lurched from crisis to crisis.
  
  I doubt the enquiry will get that level of insight, because the people who really know what was going on won’t put their heads above the parapet and give evidence. It’d be the kiss of death for any future career aspirations.

    Throw in the inability to manage the border. A stupid process where many people that did get to come back still haven’t paid and pregnant woman couldn’t get back in because they couldn’t get past a stupid lottery system.
    
    Oh and what about publicly naming and shaming people on TV, the KFC worker who it was claimed didn’t isolate, only to discover that she did everything right. The ‘sex workers’ who ‘escaped’ Auckland lockdown only to later discover they were given authorisation to do so. No apology from Hipkins in either case.

    Our local school was about to bring in lanyards to show up the children who hadn’t been taken and injected with cindys serum , until it was pointed out that it had nazi connotations . The opposition parties just capitulated and let the tyrant run wild.

    Neither the PCR nor that RATS actually work.
    
    Many people falsely believe in, and have faith in “The PCR Covid Test.” There is no such thing as a PCR test, for Covid or any other compound or sample.
    
    [1] The PCR is not a test, it is a process by which an analytical sample is “duplicated” to a size that a lab tech can inspect and verify that the sample has the “Covid” base pairs sequences. Each PCR cycle doubles the sample size, but introduces errors. 40 Cycles is a duplication of 1 trillion times the size with 100% guarantee of false positives.
    
    [2] Which in itself is bullshit because the FDA ruling for identifying any virus through lab inspection is a minimum of 100 contiguous base pairs.
    With Covid they relaxed that to a collection of four 25 contiguous base pairs. Which as many viruses are similar, the four sections could have come from different virus strings, current or latent.
    
    And it is why in July of 2021, the CDC/FDA stated the PCR test was defunct, and no longer legal after Dec 21.
    
    If you are 60 and you had oral sex at 18 and got herpes, the PCR test will show you have herpes at age 60, because the viruses and contagions remain in the body dormant. We know this because the cancer experts can now trace the cause of throat cancers, as being caused by the herpes virus.
    
    [3] The RAT tests are highly unreliable. For a start they are testing for the flu, and they are highly unreliable. I know GPs who don’t bother with them.
    
    Think about it. Very few over the counter tests in 5 cents of plastic do anything. Pregnancy tests work well (but are not 100% reliable) because they are testing for a specific hormone. Blood sugar tests work because the electrical resistance of blood changes according to sugar level. Both the pregnancy and blood sugar tests are testing On every simple parameter.
    
    “Covid” is far more complex, requiring to isolate specific base pair sequences. If that can be done in 5c worth of plastic, then why do you need to go to lab to test your blood for any of the 100+ tests they provide?

      Yup, PCR was massively over sensitive and RATs insufficiently sensitive.
      
      I got CV19 in March 2022 for the first time. It took at least 3 days of being feverish etc before that RAT turned positive. After a few days I felt recovered and the RATs were negative, so I gave it an extra week, then went about my business again.
      
      About 6 weeks later I had an Afib incident which put me in hospital. They gave me a RAT (negative) and a PCR which later came back positive. I was therefor classified as a Covid patient and my afib was classified as covid related. The PCR was only positive because of the remnants of the long-since-gone infection.
      
      Funnily enough there were 12 other Covid positive patients on the ward. Only one was admitted with Covid and the rest got infected in the ward and the infected person who brought in had issues completely unrelated to covid.
      
      Still, the stats look impressive: 13 people in the cardiology ward with “covid related” issues.

        I know GPs that stopped using the RAT tests very early on, after having tested heaps of patienys and finding the results did not match condition. My medical centre had a massive stock of RAT tests at reception being given away to who ever wanted them, as they were of no diagnostic use.
        
        As one medical professional said, the only use they had was getting paid time off work. If the first test showed negative, you could take 5 or 6 until one showed positive. And there were various compounds you could drink or gargle that would create a positive test.

    The unready lurching from crisis to crisis provided a massive opportunity to create several Olympic swimming pools of free money. Checks and balances almost non existent. Some of the favoured ones could not believe their luck and dove right in.

    The whole PCR at 40 something cycles was not only a farce, but a deliberate attempt to ramp up fear in order to sell vaccines. My partner is a German – Qualified PhD scientist. Much of her Thesis was around PCR technology. As soon as those 3 letters started popping up at that cycle rate she knew things were seriously dodgy about the whole thing. We never watched TV so of course the overwhelming evidence was that the whole thing was con. An evil con.

  Almost all of the rest of the teaching profession stayed on to enjoy their months / years of fully paid holidays.
  
  Even after lock downs many schools were only partially open (my high school kids were in 2-3 days a week for almost a year). Teaching from home was ‘a joke’. Instead of live streaming leasons, teachers posted once a week some readings / home work. I imagine less then a couple of hours work at max. My kids had their homework finished on the Monday and the rest of the week was free time.
  
  I know the media made a big ho ha about how great teachers were and how well teaching at home was going, but in my experience that was a load of bs.

She’s making millions off the destruction she caused and not only does she refuse to apologise or take any responsibility, she outright lies about it. No wonder she is so hated, but Hipkins has largely escaped that. Where is the scorn towards him? He’s just as guilty as her.

New Zealand Covid Minister To Chase Down The Unvaccinated
https://youtu.be/htxuJD2zQiI
34 secs : Jul 20, 2021 :

Hipkins, September 2023:—-
“In terms of the vaccine mandates, I acknowledge that it was a challenging time for people, but they ultimately made their own choices,” he said.
“There was no compulsory vaccination, people made their own choices.”
https://times-age.co.nz/opinion/the-semantics-of-pandemic-policy/

Many times over, a Hobson’s Choice, to put food on the table, $ to the mortgage, roof over their head, accomodation for the family, with the threat of being chased down.

Labour still have a Hipkins’ (Hobson’s) Choice to make before the next election.
Old broom or new broom, = meet the same Boss.

We know the reason Labour nominated Jacinda for a damehood and Bloomfield for a knighthood because they knew a covid inquiry would happen after they got the boot and a inquiry would go easy on these two..

Maybe her worst moment for me was: “if you want summer, get vaccinated”. Like she could control the seasons. Such a mix of hubris, stupidity and evil.

But, everybody bought it didn’t they? Not a single party in parliament tried to put brakes on the hysteria. The debate was all about how to implement madness more efficiently.

Never forget. Never forgive.

All of the fear propagated by Ardern and her government led to revolt via the parliamentary protest, at which the police enforced the State’s fear by way of legalised thuggery, following which our current Prime Minister praised their actions with a whole lot of back-patting in Parliament. Puhhhleeeease don’t pretend anything else.

How many folks caught covid after being locked up in viral-infested quarantine hotels?

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/coronavirus/300383287/covid19-delta-transmission-at-aucklands-jet-park-miq-hotel-via-opening-of-doors

And how many $$$$$ were wasted investigating bullshit about survival of Covid viruses on frozen surfaces or rubbish lids?

  Maggy,
  The shared circulated air in the hotels made them the last place you would put them in quarantine. I knew that from day one.
  
  I knew of one very well respected hospital medical specialist, who in conjunction with others of his professions, warned the medical leaders about it, and they were shut down.
  
  And air purification equipment designed to kill airborne viruses that had been specifically imported for installation in a hospital was put under lock and key, and only installed after the lockdowns were finished and risk of contamination over.

“No, Jacinda Ardern hasn’t been asked to appear before the Covid Royal Commission”

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/no-jacinda-ardern-hasnt-been-asked-to-appear-before-the-covid-royal-commission/IPVSKO6UB5AH7A44B3D7YWPCZE/

Former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern has not been formally asked to appear before stage 2 of the Royal Commission Inquiry into Covid-19.

A statement from the inquiry confirmed no decision had been made about who would appear at August hearings, expected to feature “key decision makers and senior public servants”.

“Key decision makers”? Err, shouldn’t that include the Prime Minister at the time?

A Royal Commission does have the power to summons people to appear. As Ardern lives in the United States, this power would have limited effect and could only be used if she were in New Zealand.

The statement from the inquiry suggested it would be unlikely to force Ardern to appear, noting its terms of reference “require the inquiry to take a non-adversarial approach to its work”.

Oh, in the same way that vaccine mandates were completely non-adversarial? “Get the vaccine or say goodbye to your rights, your job, your friends – we will ostracise you from society“.
