“It’s fair to say I took the title of Deputy Prime Minister very literally,” she said. “I think she had an opportunity to be a great leader for Māori ... “Gosh, I love how independent you are already,” Ardern said of her daughter Neve. I saw a member of the Muslim community covered in blood.” “My dad stopped watching the news for five years.” Ardern spoke of her experience confronting anti-vax protesters, saying she once tried to correct a protester who was talking to her about conspiracy theories. She said she relied on the team around her and thanked them.

The former prime minister has used her valedictory speech in Parliament to acknowledge the "defining" issues of modern politics.

She will volunteer as a special envoy for [the Christchurch Call](https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/131477356/does-jacinda-arderns-christchurch-call-online-hate-project-have-a-future-now-shes-leaving-politics), reporting to Prime Minister Chris Hipkins on the progress being made to counter violent extremism on social media. She acknowledged she had become a focal point for various tensions, although she said that was not her primary motivation for leaving. She said it had been, and would continue to be a “defining” issue of modern politics. “Part of me did think, maybe we can just take a breath.” On climate change and child poverty reduction, she said she was “optimistic” that the country was on track to real progress in reducing poverty and argued it was possible to be carbon-neutral by 2050. She recalled calling fiancé Clarke Gayford when the Delta variant arrived. On Tuesday, he announced her appointment as a special envoy – and said she had declined to be paid to do the role. I didn’t always get it right. “We didn’t always get it right. You can be an ex Mormon or not. She discussed the “cold sweat” of governing during Covid-19, and the threat disinformation and conspiracies posed to democracy. “You can be a mother or not.

United Nations? Lobbyist? Podcaster? Our predictions for Jacinda ... (The Spinoff)

Job offers will be flooding in for the former prime minister. We take a look at what might be on the table.

The Labour government has made it a little harder to rake in the cash as a landlord, though not hard enough for it to be anything but a lay-up for someone in Ardern’s position. [ordered the media](https://thespinoff.co.nz/summer-2022/29-12-2022/please-stop-asking-the-prime-minister-to-dj-2) to stop bringing up Ardern’s one-time DJ career. Ardern earned a big enough salary for the past six years to service a few mortgages. Lorde was flown there in 2019 and ended up on the cover of Metro and later admitted that she shouldn’t have used her “pop star resources” to snag the opportunity. Ardern certainly has the pop star resources, but does she have a best-selling album to inspire? There aren’t a lot of people who could both host a podcast and provide a contact book of the most powerful people in the world who would actually take your call. Why not a special episode in which Ardern reconciles Wills and Kate with Harry and Meghan through the power of audiocast? For that reason, Ardern’s strengths of relationship-building and speech-giving would be welcomed at the UN. She has already confirmed a couple of post-politics gigs: as special envoy for the Christchurch Call (unpaid) and a position on the board of Prince William’s climate charity (also unpaid). The conspiracy theory crowd would go crazy if this happened (according to some of them, she’s already had a new role lined up for months) – but it’s certainly a possibility. What else might the former prime minister take on to fill her time and pay her bills? Jacinda Ardern bids farewell to parliament this evening with a valedictory speech in the House of Representatives.
