Spitting Image pokes fun at Ardern’s elimination approach to Covid-19, depicting her as Mary Poppins before beheading a coughing man on the street.

Originally aired in the 1980s, the new series takes a more global focus with depictions of Donald Trump and Prince Harry.

However, Ardern has become the latest victim of the show’s controversial comedy, with her character singing “super-kiwi-socialist extra-nice Jacinda.”

In addition to Covid-19, the parody also looked at his work to ban semi-automatic weapons and increase the living wage.

Ardern was asked about it during today’s press conference, where he revealed that Auckland would move to Alert Level 1 later this week.

“I am familiar with the show, I have seen past pieces of it, for several years I think it has been very popular in the UK, so yes I have seen it.

“I’m glad I took Neve away from seeing him just in time near the end.

“I was surprised by the emphasis on the crunchy ginger.”
