The Prime Minister just used her baby as a prop to push a government policy. Poor form. Neve is now public property. 24833385valid point
Message to Jacinda - Stop F/ing up New Zealands economy, bringing down consumer and business confidence, stopping the flow of oil money for Taranaki and the country, Coming down on farmers who support their local towns, Taking away our tax refunds and giving it to people creating a baby producing business who still have dogs, smoke, drink & gamble (All on the taxpayer) - The best thing you can do is resign and have someone who has run a successful business (Not worked in a fish N chip shop)239371132Titbit

Extremely poor form. And hypocritical from one who asked for privacy.23027949marshmallow

Im sorry, but you shouldnt be using your baby for political gain. If you are going to parade her in public like this, you cant, later on, demand privacy. 20224745metarzan
A message from her couch baby in hand about more money for the people who don't want to work and prefer to sit on the couch or have babies and can't afford them or both!! How fitting 20226159The basics
We want our Privacy says the PM.

laughing away while she bankrupts the country -  she of the big smiles and the utter lack of skills.18924960KantosKan
Any Welfare payments from the government should be a temporary helping hand, not a career choice. Stop stealing money from the worker in this country and earn your own.. 18420723jazzbee
Completely agree. We need business people and engineers in leadership: practical get-it -done people. Get rid of the talkers and do gooders and wafflers. 18224462Rosie Anne
And who will be paying them. Oh, thats right the people who have risked everything to create their businesses and had the guption, inclination, and desire to better themselves. 18121433Ronnie Robinson
Watched the video for 5 seconds it is close to disgraceful politics and cringe worthy. 18022949hike moskings
Well it didn't take long for this baby to be used to sell policy 18021131Maloonz

What a horrible article. Funding those to have babies is a step back in time to the DPB days. The PM is out of touch in her day job.17820931PWJ
Either take maternity leave or dont....just stop shoving your baby down our throats to curry favour with those who think its just bleeding lovely!!17720831Koosack66
We have to stop this middle class welfare, it would be far better to get rid of working for familes and just reduce the tax burden on ALL workers. Where is the incentive for industry to up wages if the goverment just keeps subsidising income. ALL middle income earners need to be helped out not just those who have kids.17519419Dan7777
