About this ebook:
Stardust and Substance captures some of the magic of Jacinda Ardern’s extraordinary seven-and-a-half week campaign, whose 'relentless positivity' and 'let's do this' attitude defeated a National government that had been in power for nine years. The story of her sensational achievement and the 2017 race in general is told by Jacinda Ardern herself; her coalition partners, Winston Peters and James Shaw; and her adversary in the campaign, former prime minister Bill English. Overseas observers describe how 'Jacindamania' captured the outside world's attention; 14 of New Zealand’s top cartoonists offer their take on the election; and further expert analysis is provided by academic commentators, journalists, pollsters, a TV news producer, and other political experts and consultants.Aspects of this election and the subsequent formation of the government highlighted in this volume include: the televised debates; Jacinda Ardern’s inspirational example for New Zealand’s young women; UMR’s survey findings about leadership, issues and ‘word clouds’; the post-election negotiations with Winston Peters; the dramatic role of political scandals in the election; how the election played out in the Maori seats and in New Zealand's Pacific communities; and first-hand accounts of four campaign – Julie Anne Genter (Greens); Chris Hipkins (Labour); Mark Mitchell (National); Fletcher Tabuteau (New Zealand First).Stardust and Substance also farewells the Key-English government, examining its legacy with regard to some key issues: the economy, housing, the environment, immigration, foreign policy and security; and of course, New Zealand's flag.
