Jacinda Ardern gets 'Lavish Praise' for Speaking 'Nonsense'

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern “talks so much nonsense so consistently” and “gets such lavish, wonderful praise for it”, says The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan.

This comes after Ms Ardern said Pacific nations should not be forced to “pick sides” amid growing concerns about the rise of China in the region.

"We’re trying to give the Pacific an alternative from being conscripted into debt traps and hegemony by the most ruthless, authoritarian dictatorship in the world," Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

"And she says ‘don’t cast this struggle as one between authoritarianism and democracy’ – she might as well say ‘don’t describe the sky as blue and the trees as green’.”



She comes across as a mentally ill dictator. The NZ Government is one of the worst when it came to lockdowns and jab mandates. And making no distinction between democracies and dictatorships in the Asia-Pacific is insane.

The other part of this clip deals with the Australian purchase of new submarines. If they are going the nuclear route the best solution would be to have the British keep open their Astute Class submarine production which is closing down. Australia could buy the submarines directly from the UK and have new boats in the water within two years.
