In response, the New Zealand PM said: “There’s been a number of occasions where we acknowledge that we will not have perfect responses.”

Defending herself, Ms Ardern said: “I stand by the work that we’ve done as government over this last year, and over this past term.

”We’ve always made decisions that we’ve believed to be in the best interests of New Zealand at the time.”

The New Zealand promptly sat down and called Mr Seymor “such an arrogant pr**k”.

Ms Ardern has apologised for the comment.
