Former prime minister Jacinda Ardern will depart Parliament this week for a role working on the Christchurch Call. Prime Minister Chris Hipkins earlier hinted that Ardern would be working on the Christchurch Call. Although this would be her job post-politics, a statement from Hipkins’ office said Ardern would not be paid for it. “Jacinda Ardern has declined to receive any remuneration as Special Envoy, and will commence her role on 17 April,” it said. On January 25, Ardern formally finished the job as prime minister by meeting with Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro.
