"The family has been travelling for a few years now, her office told the Guardian. For the moment they're basing themselves out of Australia they have work there, and it brings the added bonus of more time back home in New Zealand."
"The high-profile family's move to Australia could hit a nerve within New Zealand, as the country grapples with record numbers of citizens leaving the country, due to a weak economy, high living costs and high unemployment. More than 60% of those moved to Australia, where average weekly incomes are higher and New Zealand citizens have work and residency rights."
"In 2017, Ardern became the world's youngest-serving female leader, aged 37, and went on to make history as the second woman to give birth while holding elected office. Over the next six years, her leadership was defined by a series of national and international crises including the Christchurch attack and Covid pandemic."
Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, has relocated to Australia with her husband Clarke Gayford and their seven-year-old daughter Neve. The family has been travelling for several years and is now based in Australia for work purposes, which also allows them easier access to New Zealand. Her move comes as New Zealand experiences record emigration, with over 60% of departing citizens moving to Australia due to higher incomes, better economic conditions, and lower unemployment. Ardern's office confirmed the relocation but did not specify arrival dates or work details. Her departure reflects broader trends of New Zealanders seeking better opportunities abroad.
