On Thursday, the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced her shock resignation, while also calling an election in October. 

Ardern has been at the helm of New Zealand for five years, not all of which have been smooth sailing. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Michelle Duff, who quite literally wrote the book on Jacinda Ardern, as we take a look back over her time as Prime Minister and find out how the people of New Zealand really feel about her resignation.
