  1. Of course she was cool, she is the most amazing Prime Minister of over a hundred years. She is young, intelligent and so savy. She has given New Zealand new hope in the Government. With hope, honesty, trust and honesty, no wonder the world is watching the LAND OF THE LONG WHITE CLOUD – New Zealand.
