Jacinda Ardern says New Zealanders are ‘lucky’ that our politics is nowhere near as brutal as Australia’s.

Malcolm Turnbull may become the fourth Prime Minister in a row who has not last their elected term, if provocateurs in the Liberal Party get their way.

Previous Prime Ministers have been rolled after scoring low numbers in opinion polls.

But Ardern told The Country’s Jamie Mackay that it is not the leaders who are unpopular, but that the instability of the position has affected the public’s perception of their politicians.

She says that while New Zealanders may be divided in their opinions, they can rest assured that they have a stable government.
