Jacinda Ardern implies opposition leader is a 'Karen' in parliament debate
Guardian, 01 Jul 2021
New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern has told opposition leader Judith Collins changes to the country's hate speech laws won't prevent her from being called a Karen. The opposition leader referenced a tweet she was sent asking if calling "a middle-aged white woman a 'Karen’ now be a crime under Jacinda Ardern’s law?" Ardern responded, telling parliament: "That is absolutely incorrect and I apologise that means these laws will not protect the member from such a claim."
