It's like they can't tell the story otherwise, even when that's how she wants it
Jacinta Ardern is not best pleased, and I'm not surprised:
Jacinda Ardern criticises new biography, saying author misled her: New Zealand prime minister says she agreed to interviews on basis that it was about a group of female leaders and ‘not specific to me’
Wow, that's pretty crappy behaviour - there's 'I'm going to write an unauthorised bio' and there's 'I will get an interview from someone who is famous for not doing that by claiming it's for a different kind of project' and then switching parameters.
We get the distinct impression that the authors were thwarted in moving ahead with the original project when pandemic put a stop to jetting around doing the research, and so thought, the hell with it, let's do a biography with what we've got.
I'm also 'props to JA for making an exception in the first place because it was supposedly a book on women and political leadership' and not All About Her.
Ardern is also pissed about the focus of a film in production about the Christchurch 2019 mosque attacks: Ardern said on Sunday she was not an appropriate focus for a film about the 2019 mosque attacks. “There are plenty of stories from March 15 that could be told, but I don’t consider mine to be one of them,” she said. Ardern reiterated that she has no involvement with the film.
How different, we murmur, from the home life of our own dear PM....
