‘For Pricks Everywhere’

It started off as a question to New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern from her political opponent David Seymour, asking her to give an example of her “making a mistake, apologising for it properly, and fixing it”.  It resulted in a response that ended with her being caught on a hot mic, alluding to Mr. Seymour as “an arrogant prick”.  Quite incredibly, thanks to that comment, the entire episode has now been wrapped up as a wonderful example of precisely what Mr. Seymour had asked her. Their exchange has been framed and is being auctioned for a good cause, with some humour thrown into the mix.  To quote from the auction website:

Ardern, Seymour join forces for pricks everywhere

In the spirit of a Kiwi Christmas, two political foes unite to raise money for a good cause. You will receive a framed printout of the Parliamentary Hansard co-signed by the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern and one-time arrogant prick, ACT Party Leader David Seymour. All proceeds to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
