Jacinda Ardern's rude MP statement transcript sells for $100,000 in New Zealand.

More than NZ$100,000 ($63,200) was paid for a signed copy of a transcript showing New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern abusing an opposition leader.



A heated discussion with ACT party leader David Seymour was followed by microphones picking up the nasty remark.


Prior to Mr. Seymour suggesting that they collaborate to collect money for the New Zealand Prostate Cancer Foundation, Ms. Ardern later issued an apology for the statement.


Thursday's charity auction came to a close, and the PM thanked everyone who participated.

When Mr. Seymour, the head of the right-wing libertarian ACT party, urged Ms. Ardern to give an example of her "making a mistake, properly apologizing for it, and rectifying it," she objected.


After defending the accomplishments of her Labour-led administration, Ms. Ardern sat down and muttered, "Such an arrogant prick."


After Mr. Seymour requested an apology, the statement was recorded by her microphone and included in the official Hansard record of the parliament.


However, the two, who are typically at odds politically, made the decision to make the relationship work for them. Before the comment was framed and put up for online auction, both parties signed a copy of the transcript of the official parliamentary record that contained it. 

The winner of the charity auction told the local media that he would need to take out a loan to assist pay for his winning bid of NZ$100,100 (£52,200).


This is a pivotal moment in New Zealand political history, Julian Shorten told 1News, adding that he was pleased with his purchase.


Mr. Seymour made the following statement: "The interest was bigger than anyone expected.


She agreed right away when I recommended it to her, he said. "I have been astounded by the generosity of bidders who are assisting pricks everywhere," the bidder said.


Before thanking Mr. Seymour for "being a good sport," Ms. Ardern said on Facebook, "Can't say I expected this."

The prime minister has had excellent approval ratings for the majority of her two terms in office. In the country's general election in 2020, Ms. Ardern's Labour Party won with a resounding victory.


But with elections in New Zealand anticipated until late 2023, Ms. Ardern is facing mounting pressure. According to the most recent polls, the main opposition National Party is ahead of her Labour Party.

FIFA World Cup 2022: In yet another unexpected outcome, Japan shockingly upsets four-time champions Germany 2-1.

 Kou Itakura of Japan joins Takehiro Tomiyasu and Daniel Yabuki in jubilation following the World Cup match between Germany and Japan on November 23 at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. The Reuters Japan did the same, fending off Germany's ferocious attempts to salvage a point from the Group 'E' opener for both teams on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after Saudi Arabia lit up the FIFA World Cup with a shocking upset of Argentina. Takuma Asano eliminated Nico Schlotterbeck from the equation with a first touch for the ages after getting the ball wide out on the right from a free kick in his own area. Asano continued to run with the goal in his sights, but the shooting angle was getting more congested. For Asano to defeat Manuel Neuer, a monster shot was required. Asano, who came on as a replacement just before the hour mark, accomplished that. The ball made a clean connection with the goalie before crashing into the net's ceiling and bringing down the Khalifa S...
