Podcast appearances and mentions of Jacinda Ardern

Tommy and Ben unpack Trump's cruel and incoherent travel bans, the administration's callous stranding of migrants and ICE agents in Djibouti, the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US and his immediate prosecution, and the revival of the plan to send thousands of migrants to Guantánamo. They also discuss Trump's upcoming North Korea-style military (and birthday) extravaganza and Trump's abuse of the military for his personal interests. Also covered: Israel's interception of Greta Thunberg's Freedom Flotilla to Gaza and her subsequent deportation, the continuing chaos of Israel's disastrous humanitarian aid plan for the strip, Israel arming Gazan clans to fight Hamas, and the intra-MAGA war being waged over Trump's Iran policy. Finally, they take a tour through Tulsi Gabbard's dark twisted nuclear fantasy. Then, the guys speak with Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, about how Covid changed global politics, working with big tech to reduce radicalization, and the need to hold two truths at once when it comes to Gaza. Her new book is a A Different Kind of Power. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

As prime minister of New Zealand from 2017 to 2023, Jacinda Ardern managed one challenge after another: from natural disasters to a terrorist attack to the Covid-19 pandemic. To navigate that complexity, she had to learn how to gather experts and gain consensus on decisions even when information was scant or changing, to transparently communicate her plan of action, and to convey both calm and compassion, all while avoiding burnout.  Ardern offers advice to business leaders grappling with geopolitical and economic uncertainty and disruption. She's the author of the book A Different Kind of Power.

The release of Jacinda Ardern's new book, has sparked a renewed interest in the leadership style that was present as Prime Minister of New Zealand, between 2017 and 2023. Leadership is constantly being tested and redefined. However, it was Ardern's leadership and circumstances throughout her tenure as Prime Minister that caught global attention and recognition. Professor Brigid Carroll, from the University of Auckland, is an expert in leadership identity and practice. Her work challenges many of the ideas that we have traditionally seen as good leadership traits. She believes that now is a good time to explore what effective leadership can look like.

At 37 years old, Jacinda Ardern was the world’s youngest female head of government when she became prime minister of New Zealand. She was also just the second to give birth while in office and led her nation through crises, including a devastating mass shooting and the pandemic. Ardern joined Amna Nawaz to discuss her memoir, “A Different Kind of Power," and the documentary, “Prime Minister.” PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

In a world that rewards power grabs, Jacinda Ardern chose a different path. The former prime minister of New Zealand, who led her country through the Christchurch massacre and COVID, talks with Katie about leading through heartbreak and crisis, why kindness isn’t weakness, and the courage it takes to step away from power. It’s all detailed in her new book A Different Kind of Power and the behind-the-scenes doc Prime Minister, out June 13.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've struggled with a couple of authors this week – Jacinda Ardern and Jake Tapper. What I struggle with is one of them is making money out of the fact they made an astonishing hash of their job, quit, bailed out of the country and is now collecting money for retelling what happened in a way that would suggest no carnage was left behind. The other is making money by exposing what he watched unfold in front of his eyes for four years and really did nothing about. I'm not sure who the bigger fraud is. The Ardern book is widely traversed and has been marketed very well internationally. My wife showed me a snippet from Oprah. Let's be frank: post WeightWatchers and Ozempic Oprah is not exactly reputationally untouched herself. She's fascinated with Ardern, and it appears to be around kindness. I bet you anything you want Oprah doesn't have the slightest idea about how the country was wrecked under Ardern. She sees what Ardern wants you to see: fragile, huggy people who run things with good vibes. In the meantime, at CNN, I have no idea what Jake Tapper was watching between 2020-24 because we all watched the same thing. Except CNN wasn't spending a lot of time saying "hey, have you noticed the old guy is getting worse by the day?". Given that was CNN's job is it any wonder they rate the way they do? But for Tapper to then go out and monetise what he was already, allegedly, being paid to do, seems a new low of sorts to me. But back with Ardern. In one review former Labour Party leader David Cunliffe runs the classic line of "I have a different recollection”. That's in response to Ardern's attack on him whereby she essentially calls him a fraud and how she couldn't understand how he got the top job and not her mate Grant. You had to, she said (probably in tears), question his authenticity. Are you serious? Authenticity? From Jacinda Markle? The only bit of marketing that seems to have been missed along with the hand-wringing interviews on Radio New Zealand and TVNZ is some Ardern jam or cake recipes. If she had just been useless, it might have been alright. Hopeless, but didn't break the china. But she wasn't. She was dangerous, she was the pulpit of truth, she was a control freak, and she was a narcissist dressed up in Kate Sylvester pretending she wrote back to all the kids. She wrecked the joint then collected the dough in Boston. Tapper and Ardern made money for failing to do their job. There should be a law against it.

Whether it was her history making win in 2017.Or the history she made as only the second woman elected to lead a country to give birth while IN office.Or her decision to step away from power after leading New Zealand through crisis after crisis.Jacinda Ardern could never be described as a TYPICAL politician. But perhaps the most norm-busting feature of her time as Prime Minister was her rejection of the old ways of leadership.Now as she reflects on her time as Prime Minister of New Zealand Ardern is emphasizing the need to lead with kindness and empathy.

Former prime minister Dame Jacinda Ardern has put herself back in the media spotlight this week - giving a string of interviews - here and overseas to promote her new memoir. AUT Communications School lecturer Dr Danielle Julian spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Today on the show... Does the media go harder on political leaders on the right, therefore exposing their bias towards those on the left? Overwhelmingly, I'd say yes - and the mainstream media has just given us another reason not to trust them. It's the way they are interviewing Jacinda Ardern - who has suddenly made herself available from America because she wants to push her new book and get the sales up - but there is suddenly something in it for her so here she is... Let's break it down. Website: https://www.rova.nz/home/podcasts/duncan-garner---editor-in-chiefInstagram: @DuncanGarnerpodcast TikTok: @DuncanGarnerpodcast

We're officially in the second half of the term, a milestone marked by the historic handover of the hallowed deputy prime minister amulet from Winston Peters to David Seymour.  The moment comes with pageantry, a flurry of interviews and a pair of new polls, which deliver intriguing, and sometimes divergent results. Toby Manhire, Annabelle Lee-Mather and Ben Thomas pore over the results and what they mean for the parties and the politicians in the post-budget, post-pay-equity-reshape wash-up. Plus: Jim Bolger and Jacinda Ardern have boh been in the headlines in recent days. What do these returns tell us about the performance of their Chris-themed successors? And Chris Bishop found himself in a media moshpit after the Aotearoa Music Awards for calling the Stan Walker parade "crap" and earning the most painful denunciation imaginable: being called a dickhead by New Zealand treasure Don McGlashan.

Former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern rose to global prominence as a leader who spoke the language of empathy in a world increasingly fluent in outrage. She won admiration as only the second woman in history to have a baby while leading a government and for her response to the Christchurch Mosque attacks. But she also faced criticism over the COVID lockdowns and unmet promises on progressive reforms. She joined Jesse for a rare interview on Afternoons.

Former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has released her highly-anticipated memoir today, with some reviewers disappointed. A Different Kind of Power covers her tenure as Prime Minister, her Mormon upbringing, and navigating crises like the Covid-19 pandemic and Christchurch mosque attacks. Political commentator Grant Duncan says the book lacks political revelations. "There's just no really juicy reveals in there - I mean, there are some interesting angles that kind of raised my eyebrows a little bit."

Neuseeland wollte bis 2025 komplett rauchfrei sein. Doch das hat nicht geklappt. Das Vorhaben wurde gekippt. Korrespondent Peter Hornung sagt in SWR Aktuell, die Ziele seien zu ambitioniert gewesen: "Dieses Jahr sollten nur noch fünf Prozent der Bevölkerung rauchen, das hat nicht geklappt. Es fehlte an Geld für die Programme der Gesundheitsbehörden. Und schließlich wollten viele Raucherinnen und Raucher das Rauchen gar nicht aufgeben." Darüber hinaus sei es weiterhin möglich gewesen, an illegal importierte Zigaretten zu kommen. "In Neuseeland sind Zigaretten superteuer. Eine Schachtel kostet umgerechnet mehr als 20 Euro." Was den Plan aber vor allem durchkreuzte: Vor anderthalb Jahren gab es einen Regierungswechsel. "Von den Sozialdemokraten unter Jacinda Ardern zu einer Mitte-Rechts-Regierung von Christopher Luxon. Und Luxon hat das strenge Gesetz gegen das Rauchen sofort aufheben lassen, weil er Geld brauchte, um Steuersenkungen gegenzufinanzieren", erklärt Peter Hornung im Gespräch mit SWR Aktuell-Moderator Simon Dörr.

What I hope for today is a sign and a sense that what we are facing economically as a country is real, and it's real bad, and the Government see it, accept it, and chart a path forward that gives us some sort of hope. The damage done by Jacinda Ardern, Grant Robertson, Chris Hipkins, and Adrian Orr is now years long. You can't invent money in that volume without spending the ensuing years trying to dig yourself out of it. The start has been made. The cutbacks have begun and the screaming, wailing, and upset has ensued. But there is a lot more where that came from. The seeds of recovery are real, manufacturing is expanding, and has been for several months, but services aren't. Sentiment isn't. The farmers have struck gold, but the weather has been exceptionally kind, as have Americans with their passion for burgers. Our debt is shocking. We are not running a surplus on an annual basis and still won't be for years. The Finance Minister today has virtually nothing to play with; no excess, no lolly, and no largesse. She has, I hope, found a fortune in savings and she will redirect that to better places. I pray she isn't borrowing on top of what we have already incurred. If she has, she may well be making a generational mistake, given Treasury says 50% debt by way of GDP is it, and we are close enough to that to worry the conservatives. In a sense today should wrap some numbers and forecasts around the rhetoric, being we are open for businesses, we are pro-growth, we are big on infrastructure and most importantly, fiscally as well as economically, we are not going to die wondering. Today is not a day for a dollar here and a dollar there. It is not an itch-scratching exercise. It should be a document that lays an ongoing foundation for the major project that is the economic resuscitation of the New Zealand economy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I asked Judith Collins yesterday, just what has become of us? The “us” I was referring to is this country. But I amended that in my mind yesterday afternoon when I read the first review of Jake Tapper's book on Joe Biden. What's become of all of us, is now the question. "Biden didn't recognise George Clooney at a fundraiser", was your headline. Tapper is making money out of a book on a subject he should have been all over four years ago, but wasn't. Most of the American media in particular weren't. They knew Biden was what he was, but it didn't seem to matter then. But now that they can make a buck, it's a story. This was raised at the White House correspondents dinner, so it's not like they aren't aware of how this looks. Jacinda Ardern falls into the same category – destroy the country, run away to Boston, write a book and collect the money. It's shocking. Jannik Sinner, the tennis player in name, and act. He meets the Pope, having cut a deal with the doping authorities not to miss any majors and return to his home tournament a hero. And the daddy of them all is the current American President. He offers White House tours and a dinner if you buy his crypto. How is this possible? He tells you "it's a good time to buy" before he makes an announcement that he knows will move the markets. No one is seemingly doing anything about it. He is about to collect a plane for God's sake! That is quite obviously illegal, and yet, who is it that is going to do something about it? Winston Peters had his head in his hands when Brooke let the big word fly, and he lamented the lack of standards. All around us are seemingly new norms. There are more and more indicators that what was once the right way to go about business now doesn't matter. Punishments that once addressed indiscretions are now laughed at or negotiated away. Moral fibre that kept you on the straight and narrow is not just gone, but jettisoned and replaced by contempt and arrogance. If the President of America can bribe your crypto purchases, while flying on an illegal plane, former leaders can profit from negligence, and the Fourth Estate can pretend to be unbiased while ignoring the news and then cash in on their ineptitude, is it any wonder more and more of us long for the good old days?

Are the Greens bonkers? The Greens have come out and criticised Judith Collins for tinkering with the Public Service Commission census – that's a voluntary survey run over three weeks and it's a follow up to the initial 2021 survey of the same name. Now Judith Collins and her office had a look at the 2021 survey, and they suggested a few changes. They had thoughts about the census, and they said we don't really need the questions about disability, rainbow identities, religion, te reo Māori proficiency levels, on-the-job training, and agencies' commitment to the Māori-Crown relationship. Instead, Judith Collins' office said, we want to put in a new question about whether public servants give excellent value for my salary, there are instances when I consider my work wastes taxpayers money, or I would rate my manager as someone who cares about the effect of my work. They're focused on productivity rather than personal well-being, which seems to be what the 2021 survey was all about. So the Greens and PSA Union have come out and said it's a form of political censorship, he says several ministers seemed more interested in fighting imported culture wars – there's all kinds of criticism for putting in questions on productivity. Judith Collins says she doesn't really care, to be honest. She says: “I think the Greens are frankly bonkers. I mean, how can they find it difficult that the public service should be delivering value for money? The Greens can go off on their fine little tangents. Frankly, that's their problem. I think it's very, very important.” So bonkers. The Greens received the same criticism from some quarters when they released their Budget this week. They pledged, among other things, free GP visits, free childcare, funded through new taxes and increased borrowing. The policies include a wealth tax, a private jet tax, ending interest deductibility for landlords, restoring the 10 year bright-line test, doubling minerals royalties, and changes to ACC levies. It would see net debt climb from 45% of GDP to above 53% by the 2028/29 financial year. Criticism was immediate. Idealistic pie in the sky, policies that would mean the death knell for Kiwi businesses. Clown show, economics, Marxism. You probably heard it, you may even have uttered a few criticisms yourself of the Budget. But is it bonkers? Yes, net debt would climb from 45% of GDP to above 53%, but 60% is considered a sustainable level of debt. It's considered a prudent level of debt by economists around the world. Sure, they're talking bigger economies and when you're a smaller economy, you don't have as much wiggle room, 60% would probably be way too much for a country as small as ours. But 53% – is that completely unsustainable? And do all Kiwi businesses think this is nonsense? I don't think so. Remember the group of millionaires who wrote to the government a year or so ago? I think it was in the final stages of the last Labour government. It was a group of 96 wealthy New Zealanders who called on the government to tax them more. In the open letter, they said the current tax system contributed towards the gap between the poor and the wealthy. They said they didn't mind if the taxation is done through increased income tax or wealth tax, or a capital gains tax, but the increases should only apply to the wealthy. Now, how do you define wealthy? According to the Greens, if you're on $120,000 a year, you should pay more tax, Under the Budget that they released —the proposed alternative Budget— If you're earning 120,000 a year, your tax will go up to 39 cents in the dollar. If you're on $180,000 your tax will go to 45 cents on the dollar. Does that then put you in the group of 96 wealthy New Zealanders wanting to be taxed more? When it comes to the differences between the parties, how helpful is it for the name calling, for the bonkers? Do we need to have a look at what policies might work? Are they aspirational policies? Are they policies that need more thinking through? I mean, when you look at the previous Labour government under Jacinda Ardern, initially there were some great ideas. I thought brilliant, fabulous, but they hadn't been worked through, and the unintended consequences was so damaging, and the fallout was so great, from nice ideas that hadn't been thought through. So before you dismiss ideas completely, is it worth looking through how they might work? Is it worth discussing rather than dismissing ideas completely out of hand? Could there be a generational and ideological divide that blinds us, perhaps to some good ideas? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kindness and productivity are not opposing forces in business.

Well, what a to-do. The image of Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters slumped in the House, head in his hands, summed it up really. Brooke van Velden dropped the C-bomb in the house, quoting a Stuff article whose author used the word in criticising the government's decision to amend the pay equity legislation. The coalition's female MPs are angry that Labour MPs, particularly the female MPs, have not condemned the journalist's use of the word, which was used as a derogatory in the article. Judith Collins, head of the Privileges Committee, was on with Mike Hosking this morning, ostensibly to talk about the suspension of three Te Pati Māori MPs for their haka in the House, but during the chat she deplored the decline of standards in the House. “There's a lack of civility now and it's not acceptable, and I feel that the comments of the print journalist in the Sunday Star Times this last Sunday was one of the lowest points I think I've seen in 23 years. That and what happened on the 14th of November in Parliament. It's just the sort of behaviour towards each other that is despicable. So I'd say to Brooke, you know I wouldn't use the word myself, but I did feel that she at least stood up for herself and for all the rest of us, and I am waiting for someone of the left persuasion in our Parliament, one MP, just one, to come out and say it's not okay to attack people just because you don't agree with what they do.” I think she'll be waiting a while. Karen Chhour has been consistently attacked by Labour MPs and Te Pati Māori MPs, really for just for being a Māori woman who has the temerity to be an ACT Party MP. And to be fair, when Jacinda Ardern and her preschool daughter were receiving violent threats —violent sexual threats, some of them very real and credible threats— there wasn't a universal condemnation of the abuse from National and ACT. Certainly Judith Collins, when she was the opposition leader, said she did not want to see Jacinda Ardern threatened when she visited Auckland in 2021 after the three-month lockdown. She said I don't want to see anything happen to the Prime Minister or have her threatened in any way. I think it's not good for our democracy and also it is not right for people to do that to each other, which is true, and good on her for saying that. But at the same time, it's hardly a universal, strident condemnation of the threats that the Prime Minister of the time was getting. We were discussing this before the show, one of our colleagues said politicians need to be better otherwise people will just give up. They'll look at the carry on, they'll read the stories and think I'm not going to vote. I argued that there are House of Representatives – they are us, to borrow a phrase. Abuse of MPs on every level increased in 2022, 98% of them reported receiving some kind of harassment. Women were considerably more likely to face abuse on most counts than male politicians. Abuse increased across 11 of the 12 different mediums, with social media overtaking emails, faxes and letters as the most prominent. That came from us. That's men and women, normally erstwhile, law-abiding, God-fearing people who suddenly became more strident. It was a result of societal factors, of lockdowns, of decisions made that had an enormous impact on people's lives and livelihoods and families. And there will be people who will never forget what happened. It can't be undone. But that all resulted in extremes, in the use of language and the vehemence of our opinions and our tribalism. I had a public Facebook page for years. I think in the in the seven or eight years I had it before Covid, I blocked two people. Once Covid started, I just got rid of it because it's why would you be a sitting duck? When I first heard about the death threats against Jacinda Ardern, I thought, well, who hasn't had them? You know that is not normal. That's not a normal response. The days of Socratic discourse are long gone. So does that mean we have to give up, my colleague asked, that we have no expectations of our MPs? No. But I think before we ask anything of our MPs, we look at ourselves. I was thinking about that this morning. Can I call out the Principles Federation representative and say before you start looking at the government, how about you call out the poor parents who send their kids to school unable to hold a pen and not toilet trained? Whose fault is that? That is the parents. Can I say that? Absolutely I can. Should I mimic her voice while I'm saying that? No, I shouldn't. Talkback's a robust forum. It's a bit like Parliament, people get heat up. We're allowed to have opinions. We should have differing opinions, but before I'm going to ask anything of our MPs, before I ask anything of my fellow journalists, I'll have a look in the mirror and check myself out.

The drug epidemic isn't just affecting ordinary citizens; it appears to be impacting politicians as well. Jacinda Ardern, Zelenskyy, and Macron—world leaders who have been caught in rather powdery situations—display all the signs of cocaine addiction. Next, Ed Solomon joins the show to discuss his latest election fraud findings across America, specifically in the captured state of Colorado. What he's about to reveal will have you on the edge of your seat. Finally, Trump announced the end of Big Pharma, the return of U.S. hostage Edan Alexander, refugee citizenship for white farmers in South Africa, and how he struck a ceasefire deal between India and Pakistan in just one weekend. All this and more on today's episode of Untamed!  

This week we have a very special guest: Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand. She also happens to be a local — at least for a few more months. We're getting her hot takes on driving in Boston, New England weather, and how the city both met and defied her expectations. Arden's memoir, A Different Kind of Power, will be released on June 3, 2025. She is appearing at the Chevalier Theatre in Medford at 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 1, 2025. CLICK HERE for tickets.

I think I'm encouraged by the numbers of submissions into the Covid inquiry. This is Covid inquiry part two. The second part is to try and rectify the stitch up that was Covid part one from the previous Government, who were determined to set criteria that would not expose the true damage they wrought upon most of us. 31,000 have had their say this time. It is pointed out they came from all ages, all locations and were both positive as well as negative. Given Health NZ submitted on whether Wanaka should have a McDonalds, do not underestimate the establishment's ability to spend an indecent amount of time and money in putting a best-case scenario forward in a butt-covering exercise. This part of the inquiry looks into masks and mandates, vaccines and lockdowns, and 31,000 submissions tells me we are still very much exercised about the historic nature of the event and our keenness to try and come up with something that sees nothing like a repeat of the last exercise. I note the other day poor, old Chris Hipkins still tries to walk that very fine line between admitting they were in charge of a balls up and pretending it went mostly well. He is in an unwinnable place. As the last sap left standing, given Jacinda Ardern and Grant Robertson are long gone, he has the sorry task of defending what really were some astonishingly poor decisions. But that doesn't mean the inquiry will come up with answers. Answers such as will a pandemic be the same, or similar, or not similar at all? What sort of Government will be in? Will that Government be competent or experienced? What roll will the public service play? Will epidemiologists become household names again? Will New Zealanders sink into a myopic funk again waiting for a leader to tell them what sort of stuffed animal to put in the window? What made last time so bad was the control, and out of the control, followed the anger and fear. I'm not sure an inquiry can dictate answers or solutions around emotion. But 31,000 submissions tells you the emotion is still very, very real. At least in putting the second part of the inquiry on, we attempt to recognise how profound those dark and troubled days really were. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alright it's time for Friday confessional. With the Pope passing away, all this focus on Catholicism's got me feeling repentant. There are two things I predicted would happen last December as I was signing for Christmas here at Newstalk ZB. One of those things hasn't happened and the other one is about to not happen. Poilievre winning the Canadian election and Albo losing Australia's. We all know who's to blame. You know who – the wildcard, the kamikaze, the outlaw, it was the Trump Bump that did it for both of these guys. Carney, while he's won, will have a very tough term in office given the whole rally round the flag effect in support of Canadian sovereignty will fizzle out as quickly as Jacinda's Covid election high – the underlying problems Canadians felt before this month-long love-in will remain. This will surely be his high tide mark. But that's no excuse. I got it wrong. Fair cop. And as for Dutton, who's been looking behind every couch and under every rock for something relevant to say, he's now beating up on the return to country. Which during a cost of living crisis people want sorted, is akin to Judith Collins' attack on fat people at the ill-fated 2020 election. Remember that? If you want to lose weight, then eat less. Actually, not an unreasonable thing to say for most but it's the timing, isn't it? It's the focus on that when it should be on bigger things. And that brings us to the elephant in the White House: Donald Trump. While I predicted he'd win last November, I think most of us underestimated just what “America first” meant for the rest of the world. When somebody comes first, somebody loses. And both Albo and Carney have been beneficiaries of that. His power of course has swung global political pendulums before. Remember the rise and international star power of Jacinda Ardern was born out of an anti-Trump backlash. The liberal young female prime minister banning assault rifles in a country post mass-shooting became the darling of global left – just the tonic for those who not just dislike, but despise Trump and his band of merry MAGA supporters. So the political lesson is don't underestimate the Trump Bump and Dump on any foreign election. The question is, what does it mean for our election next year? We're less affected by his tariffs, unless China implodes. We're not yet being threatened with invasion. Unlike the Aussies and Canadians, our incumbents are bent to the right. So the risk of a Trump Bump getting Chippy over the line here if he starts singing from Phil Goff's songbook is perhaps more limited – but not non-existent. When Washington coughs, somebody gets a cold. How Luxon and Winston et al. navigate the next 18 months will determine whether it's them that catches it.

In Part Two with Jack Of Faces, we explore the skewed dynamics between men and women in modern society, the deliberate dismantling of the nuclear family by corporate and government systems, and how elites exploit collective amnesia to maintain control.In the next part, we will do a detailed breakdown of Jacinda Ardern's physiognomy with Jack, which will be extremely revealing, so make sure to tune in for that.PART 1 - https://rumble.com/v6sq385-jack-of-faces-on-the-hive-mind-communism-and-building-spaceships.html?e9s=src_v1_ucpJACK OF FACES on Twitter/X - https://x.com/JackOfFaces--------FreeNZ:https://freenz.carrd.co

Get ready for what we now know will be a winter of discontent after the announcement by Nicola Willis that she is slashing government spending. Which shows us once and for all, that the income tax cuts were a dreadful mistake. Because it's not just ideology driving these budget cuts - it's need. The Government has much less money coming in the door through taxation - which means it's got much less to spend. And, maybe conveniently, the Finance Minister's announcement yesterday came 48 hours before 5,000+ senior doctors go on strike wanting more pay. But if the Minister was watching the news last night, she would have seen people asked in the street what they thought she should focus her spending on in next month's budget. And it was clear, hands down, that most people thought it was health. And I'm the same. If there's one thing that affects us all in some way, shape or form - it's the state of the health system. I think the Government needs to take holistic view of the world when it comes to health and not just pour money into hospitals. But I think health spending or increased health spending needs to go into things from treating people who are really crook, people who need treatment to live productive and happy lives, but also things that help prevent people from getting unwell in the first place. The bigger issue for the Government though, aside from the state of the books, is maintaining public confidence. Winter is always the hardest time for us to keep our chin up and the Government will be aware of that. And no amount of cheerleading or writing-off its political opponents as moaners with no ambition is going to cut it anymore. Nor is some of the patronising talk we're hearing from the Finance Minister, who is at-risk of becoming as patronising as Jacinda Ardern was by the end of her tenure. We don't need to be told about household budgets and credit cards being declined to understand that the country is in the shtook. Just like we don't need patronising talk about Toyota Corolla ferries instead of Ferrari ferries. Even if you think Nicola Willis is the best thing since Ruth Richardson, you must be getting tired of some of the talk. The other thing that gets me is that a lot of people bang on about us needing governments with business experience. You know, successful people who know how to run a budget. But it always seems to me that when these so-called successful people do get into government, they do the complete opposite of what people expect them to do. For example: when you run a successful business, yes, you do keep an eye on costs. But there's another thing you do as well when you run a business: you try to get as much revenue in the door, as possible. But this government has done the complete opposite of that with its tax cuts. No one's better off. And the Government has way less money to spend.

Polls are funny things at the best of times, and despite plenty of evidence that they can be as wrong as they can be right, we still seem fascinated, if not obsessed, by them. There are two races at the moment being heavily polled: Australia and Canada. Canada votes this Monday, Australia in a couple of weeks. Canada is more interesting, if for no other reason than the incumbents were losing by so far it wasn't funny, but are now leading. The PM quit and the new bloke, Carney —who once ran the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England— is now chasing the top job. On the surface, that change of leadership might have played a part in voters' minds – Trudeau was past his used-by date in a Jacinda Ardern “loved then hated” kind of way. More likely, south of the border, Trump got elected, tariffs became an issue, and Carney looks like the person who can better stand up to America. Polling out yesterday says the Conservatives are closing as people refocus on local issues like housing and cost of living, but the gap is still 12 points. Which is an amazing swing given the gap was 20 points the other way until tariffs stole the headlines. Meantime, in Australia it's gone from a race where the incumbent would be lucky to survive, far less thrive. Where a hung parliament was probable, requiring any number of accommodations with Greens and Teals and Independents, given a minority was the best Albanese could hope for, to what increasingly looks like an easy romp home with a majority. Marginal seat polling out yesterday shows Labor with a 3.5% swing in the past week. Another poll had 45% of voters saying they didn't like Dutton's personality, therefore wouldn't vote for him. Competence, cost of living, that apparently doesn't count. You look at him, you don't like him, he's toast. It hardly seems a sophisticated way to decide the future of your nation, but then that's democracy, isn't it? One argument says Albo should win —first term governments don't lose— haven't since the 30s. But Canada, if the polls are right, that would be a victory from the ashes. What happens in another country is so profound: the party that was getting thrashed has their fortunes completely reversed. That's one for the history books.

Dame Jacinda Ardern is releasing her first children's book, called 'Mum's Busy Work'. The former Prime Minister says it's told through the eyes of a child, based off things her daughter Neve said to her when she was in the top job. It will be released in September, with $3 from every copy sold going to The Kindness Collective. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper offered his thoughts ahead of the book's release. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She will lead the session “Humanizing Leadership in a Tech-Enhanced World.” We're going to get a preview of her presentation. [3:08] Holly will also talk about some of the world leaders she has shared the stage with and why she found them impactful. [3:17] Interview! Holly Ransom, welcome to RIMScast! [3:24] At RISKWORLD 2025, on May 6th, Holly Ransom will present a TED-style talk, “Humanizing Leadership in a Tech-Enchanced World.” [3:41] Holly can't wait to be there in Chicago. She is excited that so many will be attending! Her keynote goal is to explore how important authenticity, empathy, and purpose in leadership are amid technological change. [3:59] It's easy to lose sight of authenticity in an industry that's all about metrics and frameworks. We need to maintain that focus on building resilient teams that can navigate uncertainty with confidence and clarity. That's what Holly will share at RISKWORLD. [4:34] Holly will be diving into the high-performing culture element. A lot of Holly's work with high-performing sports teams and in the corporate landscape is about how to get collective effectiveness. [4:45] Holly's keynote will pull on those insights to ask what it looks like to influence positively the environment to get the best out of the people around her, maximize creativity, and seize the innovation opportunity. That will be where it comes together in her conversation. [5:22] Holly discusses the metrics of success. It depends on the organization. There are performance metrics for revenue and reputation that show how effective a business is. She talks about looking beyond traditional KPIs to other ways to measure effectiveness. [5:51] These other measures may include new products to market, rate of innovation, successful growth of new products versus legacy brands, psychological safety scores, team engagement, and recognition. [6:12] Holly looks for proactive measures and team collaboration quality. That's a combination of metrics beyond what organizations have traditionally measured. Pick out of the KPI soup the ones that benefit you. Which ones measure the needle moving in your organization? [7:01] Holly has spoken at events within the risk industry. RISKWORLD will be her largest risk management speaking event. [7:23] Holly sees the risk profession as having an incredibly important role, making sure that safety is maintained and people safely get to where they want to go, inside their organizations.  [7:39] These are the people laying down strategy and setting the innovation roadmap, and how we get there while maintaining the expectations of our customers, standards for our employees, and the license we have to operate within our community and the broader society. [8:05] Holly says risk management is one of the most complex jobs inside an organization. Holly worked in large corporations in mining and banking early in her career. She spent a lot of time with CROs. Their risk reports to the board were around 150 pages, before cyber frontier. [8:44] Holly has empathy for risk managers who must influence other executives to understand the risk agenda and embrace and support it. The skills of risk professionals have probably never mattered more as we navigate the complexity. [9:30] The 150-page risk reports Holly saw in her corporate career were filled with information, including heatmaps. It was important to call attention to what mattered most and report it realistically while discharging risk duties responsibly. It's an interesting tightrope to walk. [10:22] Holly mentions the role that smart risk plays in innovation and progress. In high-performing teams, if you keep doing the same thing, you can't maintain your competitive edge. There is always an element of risk in the evolution of strategy and approach. [10:49] Netflix embraced risk in its strategy of pivoting away from rental to streaming, first with owned content and now into live sports. There were difficulties, but now Netflix is one of the most successful stories of the last 20 years. [11:52] Netflix was prepared to “cannibalize” itself and jump on what it saw as an emerging technology opportunity to stake out a new business model. Netflix continues to add new subscribers. [12:40] What can leaders learn from Netflix? Ask yourself what you are doing as a leader to build your peripheral vision. How do you make sure you're not getting caught in the way you do things or the way your industry operates? [13:02] How do you expand your view so change does not catch you off-guard and the opportunities and threats that come are things that you as a leader are beginning to think about? AI could be an example of something relevant to leaders at the moment. [13:21] Ask what's the question you need to be reflecting on. What's the strategic question you can take to your leadership team or board that allows you to get into a “meaty” conversation on the topic with ideas on how the board wants to respond to it, proactively versus reactively? [13:40] How are you keeping your finger on the pulse? Do you have a source outside your deep industry expertise or outside where you operate? Are you having periodic conversations with a leader in another industry sharing observations and data points? [14:06] How do you turn an observation into a question that sparks the thinking and the conversation that can be the catalyst for transformation? Get into conversations with your colleagues. What does this mean for us and how can we do something significant for us with it? [14:27] Netflix started very early in strategic conversation and prepared to take strategic bets on what part of its portfolio and what allocation of its resources to give to this new idea. [14:41] You see this process in a range of businesses, however they structure it. Some businesses have an innovation arm. Other places have a budget allocation per department for new ideas each year. [15:05] There needs to be a meaningful skin in the game each year, building the muscle of working up an idea and attempting execution. That allows you to get real opportunities, rather than just intellectualizing risk. What will you learn in the process to try better next time? [15:35] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! On March 13th, our friends from Global Risk Consultants will return to discuss “How to Make Your Property Insurance Submission AI-Ready”. [15:49] On a unique day and time, March 26th at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, members of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council will extend the dialog that began in the recent RIMS Executive Report “Understanding Interconnected Risks”. [16:07] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [16:19] Nominations are also open for the Donald M. Stuart Award which recognizes excellence in risk management in Canada. [16:27] The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved in part by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [16:46] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in general grants to support over 130 student-centered experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. [16:59] Spencer's 2026 application process will open on May 1st, 2025, and close on July 30th, 2025. General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. Learn more about Spencer's Grants through the Programs tab of SpencerEd.org. [17:18] The Conclusion of My Interview with Upcoming RISKWORLD 2025 Keynote, Holly Ransom! [17:37] Holly has been to Chicago and loves it, but not Chicago winters! This will be Justin's first time in Chicago. He'll do the generic bucket list Chicago stuff when he finds a couple of pockets of time, to enhance the experience. [18:34] During the pandemic, there were studies done on leadership communication during a crisis. There was a difference between leaders in companies who performed well in the face of adversity, versus others. [18:58] There was a big piece around leaders who could demonstrate authentic concern. An example of this was New Zealand's former Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, after the terrorist attack in Christchurch. [19:14] She had an incredible ability to show empathy and to see it as a moment of extreme sadness; an opportunity to bring the nation together. [19:31] Successful leaders in crisis focus on what they can control and communicate with a transparent confidence. Ed Bastian at Delta did a good job managing the 2017 system outage across Delta. He appeared in a video message to customers within hours and took ownership. [20:12] He offered compensation proactively versus reactively, making it right for his customers, knowing that how he handled the situation would set Delta's reputation and make the comeback stronger. [20:29] You can build back a stronger brand and reputation by how you handle a crisis. You can have a higher brand score after a crisis you've handled well. Your relationships need to be in hand before the crisis. Be proactive in stakeholder relations so there are credits “in the bank.” [21:08] Then, when the crisis comes, you can call in favors and ask people to come in, in support. Those people show up. [22:04] Holly describes her feelings on giving a keynote. She loves it. She says she's on the strange end of the psych profile, in liking to be in front of an audience and talking. Holly says that for her, there is nothing more precious than people's time. [22:25] She calls it a privilege to have time to impart a message. Her goal is always to give the audience practical tools and new ideas that leave them feeling empowered and less overwhelmed, with things they can immediately put to work to enhance their effectiveness. [22:56] Holly wants to practically equip leaders as she feels we are in desperate need of new tools to help us overcome the overwhelm, make sense of the complexity, and find our way through the uncertainty. [23:23] Justin checked out Holly's highlight reel where she has hosted sessions with major world leaders, including former President Barack Obama. Of everyone she has shared a stage with, who stood out to her as a magnetic personality? [24:06] Matthew McConaughey comes to mind as someone who has real confidence in himself, doesn't take himself too seriously, is very funny, engaging, extroverted, and is a natural storyteller. He is as delightful offstage as he is on. [24:25] Without exception, the world leaders Holly has had the privilege of interviewing and hosting, tend to be incredible communicators and have an “X” factor to them. [24:57] Brené Brown was warm, authentically passionate about the work that she does, and genuine in her desire to connect and converse. Holly said Brené Brown was everything you would hope she would be. [25:55] Holly's last thoughts for leaders of the risk profession: There is an increasing communication demand on every leader to be a storyteller, to be able to cut through because the world has never been noisier, and to help people make sense of what they're saying. [26:20] People feel overloaded. Uncertainty leads to a bias of inaction rather than action. Risk professionals need to cultivate the skill of storytelling and influencing to convey the critical information they have to stakeholders who don't have the same depth of understanding. [26:55] We give a lot of lip service to life-long learning. We need to start practicing what we preach, getting “in the gym” and building that new muscle, whatever you can do to widen your view into topics that may not have been traditionally part of your wheelhouse, like AI. [27:23] AI is becoming increasingly important to understand opportunities and risks. Have you humbled yourself and been a beginner and gotten on the tools, played with them, and taken a master class, to get your hand around it and think about what it means for your organization? [27:52] It could be GenZ coming in. Do you have a mentor under the age of 26? Think about that if you haven't. There could be a whole range of factors that are looming as things that are going to reset the table. What are you doing to build your understanding and experience?

New Zealand's internet safety agencies took aggressive legal action against the Human Rights Commission, after it called out social media giants for failing to protect Jacinda Ardern from vicious online abuse. Guyon Espiner has the story.

In this episode, we create financial plans for 5 New Zealand celebrities. We look into how much money Israel Adesanya, Jacinda Ardern, Sonny Bill Williams, Shaun Johnson and Grant Roberston have. We also consider what advice we'd give them if we were creating financial plans for these well-known New Zealanders. Just keep in mind that this is not formal financial advice for these Kiwis. This is just an example of what we would look into if we were creating a formal financial plan for them.

Learn the impact of female leadership in times of crisis and explore the unique qualities that women bring to leadership roles.  The conversation takes a personal turn as Deb shares a heartfelt story about a close friend battling breast cancer and how a simple gesture—a towel—transformed her life. Tune in to the power and resilience of female leaders and the incredible impact they can have in shaping a better world. About our guest: Debra Brockelsby, often called Debs, grew up on a farm in Waikato, New Zealand, with her close-knit family, including her parents, two sisters, and extended relatives nearby. With a natural passion for sports and numbers, she pursued a Sport and Leisure degree at the University of Waikato, graduating in 2013. After completing her studies, Debs followed her adventurous spirit to Canada, where she spent time snowboarding and enjoying outdoor activities. In 2015, while riding bikes with friends, Debs had a serious accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury (TBI), significantly impacting her life. Her recovery took over a year, during which she worked with a team of specialists, including occupational therapists, neurologists, and neurological physiotherapists. This experience led her to reevaluate her priorities, and she decided to pursue a career that truly ignited her inner passion. At the end of 2017, Debs left her role at Cycling NZ and launched STOKEDNZ, a business driven by her newfound purpose and zest for life. She is deeply committed to personal growth, frequently learning from mentors, reading, and listening to podcasts to continuously improve as a business owner. STOKEDNZ, soon celebrating its second anniversary, reflects Debs' belief in living a life fueled by passion and purpose.
