Jacinda Ardern's cringe-worthy 60 Minutes interview

An Australian 60 Minutes interview with New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern has hit the headlines for its patronising and cringe-worthy tone. Veteran reporter Charles Wooley asks Ardern and partner Clarke Gayford when their baby is due and then went to question if the baby was conceived during the election campaign. A visibly uncomfortable Ardern says at one point: "Not that we need to get into those details."

Who is counting back Charles? My guess is NOBODY!

[wgjung]

Alcoholics shouldn't interview people

Apparently he got their Nanny pregnant, now that's a cringe worthy subject.

What's really cringe worthy? UKs choice in electing Boris Johnson as your Prime Minister.

Half woman - Half horse.

All authoritarian!

Aussie media is so far past the sewer it's not funny. Goebbels would be proud.

He can't be pregnant It's impossible Another Meghan Markle

[Stopthegreed]

This is what happens when a guy runs out of intelligent questions to ask. Who is counting back? Australians? Who cares.

It takes a lot to embraas Jacinda, but the focus on when baby Neve was conceived obviously, and understandably, left her very uncomfortable.

[ulazygit]

And she’s been doing that to our country ever since …

[enriquevillarreal]

A really important political question? This interviewer should send his resume to Marie Claire Magazine

[Luton-Mick]

He got his dates wrong, horses carry 11-12 months.

[bigtodd]

That's no woman, It's a man!

[babyshaker]

Word on the street is Clarke knocked up the Nanny

[dennismenace]

Her media trained smile makes me nauseous.

[HenryTheOunce]

Jeesus the cringe is too strong on both sides

[DC-etym]

so glad we don't have to see or listen to her anymore!

[johndrover]

Look at the laughing gear on that Kiwi bloke

[truthsupporter]

New Zealand celebrated the day Jacinda quit.

She could eat an apple through a letterbox! Black hearted woman.
