#4 A scum bag of the FVEY scum bags. Sadly, I don't think she will go away entirely.

Now the question is (as posed by others): what's the REAL reason this scum bag is hanging it up? Sociopaths just don't resign.

#11 Gave New Zealand her all, did she?

Led her country through Covid pandemic and Christchurch mosque massacre

Disarmed the people and locked them in their bedrooms, administered nationwide medical experimentation.

#13 Bucking for promotion to Davos attendee, I'd bet.

I'm shocked Clarke is a guy, and not dressed up like a rubber dog.
