In recent days, the Prime Minister has also been upbraided online for the repeated "ruling out" of key issues, dating back to her decision to rule out a capital gains tax for the entirety of her tenure as New Zealand's leader.
Just yesterday, Ardern pinned it on the entire country, saying that, in fact, "New Zealanders ruled it out".
"We campaigned on it several times, and we just couldn't bring New Zealanders with us," she said.
But when it comes to her own tweet archive, here are nine posts that Jacinda Ardern might now be regretting (presented in no particular order).
'The gaffe man!'
This tweet of Ardern's has taken on much higher significance since both she and Boris Johnson ascended to the leaders of their respective countries. It also seems to resurface in tabloid UK media at least once a year.
'For the love of..'
In a week where the skyrocketing price of Auckland houses has made countless headlines, this 2015 tweet from Ardern seems especially pointed.
'Comprehensive housing plan'
Megan Woods, October 5 2020: "Labour has a comprehensive housing plan."
As one tweet response to this simply says, "Lol. Has not aged well".
'A shortage in some areas'
Same as above, really. Awks.
And again
This one is presented without comment.
'Like hearing a drug addict lecture an alcoholic'
'The future of the St James Theatre'
I have still never stepped foot in Auckland's St James Theatre. At this stage, I expect I never will.
Git-gate
Last year, Sky News ran an "exclusive" story revealing Ardern's true views on controversial Australian broadcaster Alan Jones. Turns out, it was this tweet likely uncovered by a tired Sky intern.
Twyford v English
Nice to see Phil Twyford get a mention six years back.
