Jacinda Ardern's daughter interrupts Facebook live after escape from bedtime
Telegraph, 10 Nov 2021
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was busy telling the nation about important revisions to Covid-19 restrictions when an unexpected voice cut in: "mummy"?
In a situation familiar to parents worldwide, the leader's three-year-old daughter Neve had decided everything, even the affairs of state, could wait.
"You're meant to be in bed, darling," the 41-year-old Kiwi leader says, turning away from the Monday's Facebook livestream to offer an also-familiar observation-cum-plea.
"No," Neve responds undeterred, launching what ended up being protracted, and for Ardern, fruitless, negotiations.
