Photo: GettyA "seasonal sniffle" keeping Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern home today has been linked to her daughter Neve's day care. "The [Prime Minister] is suffering the consequences of having a child that goes to day care and has picked up the seasonal sniffle," a spokesman said on Tuesday morning. Today is the first day the House in Parliament will be sitting after a three-week recess period. On Monday at a post-Cabinet press conference, Ardern announced seasonal workers from Sāmoa, Tonga and Vanuatu would be able to enter New Zealand from next month. Ardern was still the preferred Prime Minister at 45.5 per cent, down 2.6 points.
