Those that know me, know I am not a big fan of Jacinda Ardern... however she is allowed a holiday, even if it is in Aussie it can be where ever she wants to visit.

New Zealand is not under any state emergency at present... so she is spending money and promoting tourism in Queensland... isn't that what you want...
