Jacinda Ardern made public a letter she wrote to her deputy explaining what will happen when he’s acting Prime Minister while she’s on maternity leave.
She said she did this because of the public interest in the matter.
It looks like it was supposed to reassure us all she’ll still be in control.
It could also be taken to be a warning to her deputy.
His body language in the video at Newshub suggests he’s not particularly happy about that.
The text of the letter is here

Complying with agreements made with Prime Ministers is not one of Peters strengths. Ardern has no chance of him staying in line if leaders like Shipley and Clark could not manage him.
