07/04/2020New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has “amazingly” not sacked the country’s health minister after it was revealed he had hypocritically “undermined his own edicts” and broken the nation’s lockdown laws says Sky News host Chris Kenny. David Clarke has been stripped of his associate finance portfolio and demoted to the lowest level of Cabinet after admitting he breached a nationwide lockdown by driving 20 kilometres to the beach.

He was caught mountain bike riding last week after his van - emblazoned with his face and name - was spotted in a car park near a trail. Mr Clarke offered his resignation to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern last night, which she rejected. Mr Kenny said Prime Minister Ardern is “leading a progressive government that the green left in Australia sees as a model of egalitarian, woke nirvana”.
