Question for my friends in the Antipodes

This sounds a tad fishy to me. Is any of it true? "Jacinda Ardern ranked most eloquent and ‘compassionate’ world leader".

Personally, my ideal "leader" is someone who just leaves me alone. Ardern's a gun grabber, isn't she? Perhaps she's an "eloquent and compassionate" gun grabber.

I'm not an Australian, but I think we can make a guess based on the fact that the list she's on was compiled by development coaches from the Development Academy wing of Acuity Training (whatever the heck that is). It sounds like a boatload of feelz to me.

Chinese owned journalists love Chinese owned politician. If that don't beat all.

She speaks well for a talking horse, almost as good as Mr Ed was.

Compassion is a quality an individual has in private and should have no place in public life or competitive politics.

The reason is that only a mind reader would know who is really compassionate and who is just virtue signalling.

Arden is pretty good at virtue signalling.

In politics, when you're 'compassionate' to one group you're usually screeing another.

I'd put her beside Julia Gillard in terms of both media adulation and actual competence.

Nuff said, indeed.

If it weren't for the fact that it doesn't yield the right acronym, the "Development Academy wing of Acuity Training" would make an interesting addition to the large group of Paco Enterprises subsidiaries.
