I am an expat from New Zealand. I just shot back for a visit over the last week and it was astonishing the pain Kiwi's are in due to the cost of living issues. When I returned to Australia I enjoyed going to supermarket to pay for my groceries with "peanuts".
With regard to Jacinda Ardern, most are exhausted and dont even have the energy to complain any more. To say she had become unpopular is an understatement. It would have been a monumental effort for her to get reelected. Fair enough she wants to spend time with her family instead.
