AUCKLAND (AFP): New Zealand’s Minister for Women Julie Anne Genter has taken the cycle of life to a whole new level, biking her way to a hospital for the birth of her first child. Genter is 42 weeks pregnant and said in the post that she was going into a hospital for an induction. She is not only Women’s Minister but Associate Transport Minister in New Zealand’s center-left government, advocating for sustainable travel. Her Green Party colleagues tweeted that the bicycle trip to the delivery ward was “the most #onbrand thing ever”. The impending birth comes just weeks after New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern returned to work after having her first child, daughter Neve, in June.
