Prime Minister Jacinda has won the hearts of her social media followers after her "legendary" response to a critic who demanded she "just leave" politics.
On Wednesday Ardern took to Instagram, posting a photo of her Prime Minister's statement saying she will deliver a 20-minute speech in the chamber.
"Deliveringthis in the debating chamber today (it's how we traditionally start the parliamentary year.) A 20-minute speech is probably a bit long for here, but will do my best to summarise later today!" she wrote.
But one critic wasn't having a bar of Ardern's post, accusing her of ruining the New Zealand economy.
"Please just leave. Don't ruin NZ's economy anymore," the critic wrote.
The comment caught Ardern's eye with the Prime Minister swiftly snapping back at the person's allegations.
"Is that a reference to the low unemployment levels we've achieved, high wage growth, the decrease in debt or the solid GDP growth at 2.7 percent?" she wrote.
