New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern auctioned a parliamentary report… in which she insulted an opponent, to raise money to fight prostate cancer.
After a difficult conversation on Tuesday, December 13, with political dissident David Seymour, Jacinda Ardern is back in her seat, furious. Then a microphone in Parliament captures these sounds: “What an arrogant fool.”
Online auctions of minutes showing the insult, signed by the Prime Minister and Mr Seymour, for which she later apologized, fetched NZ$45,500 (€27,200).
“We are glad to have so much support.”David Seymour told AFP Friday. The insult was recorded at the request of the opponent, who asked the head of the chamber to apologize to Jacinda Ardern.
The latter then sent a separate letter to the leader of the liberal right-wing ACT party, who had the idea of using this dispute to serve charity.
“I suggested we sign a copy of the parliamentary minutes to raise money for the Foundation and assholes around the world.”Mr. Seymour explained.
This insult was not at all “Type” Prime Minister, admit. Her opponent said she readily accepted the proposal.
The ACT party leader hopes that document “He would leave for a lot of money. It’s unusual and for good reason.”. Bidding ends December 22nd.
