Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she has nothing special planned to celebrate her 41st birthday.
Ardern appeared on TVNZ's Breakfast programme this morning and presenter Jenny-May Clarkson began her interview by wishing the Prime Minister a happy birthday.
When asked if Ardern would have a moment to celebrate today, theincredibly busy Prime Minister was honest about her plans.
"I haven't got one planned, but it's one of those boring, nothing birthdays, but thank you very much, it's very kind," she told Breakfast.
"The cameraman, I don't know if it was because of my birthday, he's placed three stars behind my head so that was a lovely touch," she added, pointing behind her.
"It's not a nothing birthday, every birthday should be celebrated," Clarkson told her.
Over the weekend, a Twitter use spotted the Prime Minister out in public and her fiancé Clarke Gayford revealed why she was spotted at a pedestrian crossing.
"I love that NZ is small enough that I see the PM at least once a month," the person posted.
