New Zealand reporter Eleanor Ainge Roy describes meeting her country’s prime minister, and why a leader’s pregnancy has had such a profound impact
The last time I interviewed Jacinda Ardern, she was in between breast-feeds, had just launched a plastic bag ban, negotiated an end to a strike by nurses and announced a new mental health hospital for acute patients.
