Yes.

And the only reason I dwell on the difference between the Head of Government and Head of State is because I don't like politicians like her acting like they are more important than they are - our systems here make that distinction important. One example of this is her decision to change New Zealand gun laws - she made announcements of policy in those cases she had no right to make, until she'd put the matter before Parliament - and that's part of the reason they have the mess they have now. She acted like a dictator contrary to the conventions of New Zealand's constitution.

I have great respect for the Governor-General of New Zealand (the de facto Head of State, and the Queen of New Zealand (the de jure Head of State, both of whom have always done their duty by that nation.

Ms Ardern... I don't respect her in the same way.

Unfortunately, she's very popular with the left in Australia, who seem to wish she was our Prime Minister, too.
