Simon and Jacinda and Paris

Eiffel Tower, Paris. pn392

It's only my opinion, but I think Simon Bridges' public image would be greatly improved if he didn't lamblast government on everything it does.  Judith Collins, who's often as tactless as Simon, showed the way.  She's just as critical of government as Simon but recently she came to the defence of a Coalition MP she thought had been unfairly treated by the media, while Simon criticised Jacinda's "Christchurch Call" mission in Paris before she'd even left NZ. Had he waited, to see what happened in Paris, he could have looked like a fair and intelligent leader, instead of the buffoon he so often paints himself to be.

Despite the odds, Jacinda achieved the incredible and got what she went for. Click on the link to read what Henry Cooke wrote from Paris.

Okay, not all the key players were there and their statement was not binding but  there was definitely progress,  and what other small country leader has got such support from a G7 Summit?
