Former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern is now living across the Tasman. 

A spokesperson for Ardern says the family has been travelling for a few years now and for the moment they’re basing themselves out of Australia. 

The statement says they have work there, and it brings the added bonus of more time back home in New Zealand.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says this follows weeks of speculation about Ardern house-hunting in the Northern Beaches of Sydney.
