Lucky Break: PM Not Interesting in Instigating NZ's Removal from Monarchy
September 18, 2022
New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern today insisted she doesn’t ‘have any intent of instigating’ the process of her country becoming a republic.
The premier reiterated her belief that New Zealand would ditch the monarchy ‘over the course of my lifetime’ but suggested she would not front a push to do so.
Ms Ardern is in London this weekend ahead of the Queen’s funeral on Monday. On Friday she attended Her Majesty’s lying-in-state at Westminster Hall.
She hailed the response of the British public to the Queen’s death, describing it as ’the most fitting tribute’.
We’re no fans of the Monarchy, but can you imagine the kind of Republic our current pack of clowns would form?
