In 2019, she was shortlisted for Times Person of the year and was spoken of as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize for her leadership in the aftermath of the Christchurch shootings.
As her citation states, she gained widespread approval for her leadership following the massacre in a Christchurch mosque. Her empathy was matched with her firm actions.
Since then she took control of a draconic approach to Covid which made New Zealand on of the most successful countries in combatting the pandemic.
This post reports her subsequent efforts and the vituperation she receives from demonstrations to death threats.
