How cool are you? I give you a 9/10. PM's OIA gets a laugh

How cool is the Prime Minister?

She's a 9/10 according to a man called Joseph who filed the quirky Official Information Request to Parliament last month.

He posted his query and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's response to the Only in New Zealand Facebook Page.

In his request he said he was "seeking information regarding how cool you are on a scale of 1-10, I give it a 9/10!" he wrote.

The Prime Minister's office responded, through chief of staff Mike Munro, who said Joseph's request didn't meet the criteria under the Official Information Act.

"However, I am advised the Prime Minister has not measured herself for coolness on a scale of 1-10, although she appreciates your rating. She has given your query a 9/10," Munro wrote.

Some of the followers thought was a laugh, responding "that's gold", "lol" and "she's funny, good sense of humour".

However, one person wasn't impressed with the hilarity replying "no wonder they not getting any real work done".

A spokesman for the Prime Minister today confirmed the request was legitimate.
