Political tributes and commentary are flooding in about Jacinda Ardern following her resignation – a woman who has undoubtedly been unafraid of being her authentic self and to lead on the world stage in her own style – compassionate, empathetic, intelligent, and principled.
She hasn’t felt the need to emulate the macho, egocentric primarily male politicians that dominate the world stage.
In fact, Ardern has centred women in many of her policy decisions putting their concerns centre stage in making legislative changes.
