New Zealand's incoming prime minister has vowed to protect his family from what he called the "abhorrent" abuse that his predecessor, Jacinda Ardern, received while in office.
Chris Hipkins, who was speaking on Sunday after MPs from his ruling Labour Party voted unanimously to endorse him, said a "small minority" of Kiwis were responsible for abusing Ms Ardern.
He said that "it does not represent who we are as a country".
Men had a responsibility to call out misogyny, he added.
He said he realised that putting himself forward as leader meant that he was "public property" - but that his family were not, and he wanted his children to have a "typical Kiwi kid life".

No, what’s abhorrent is Jacinda abusing her power.
She abused the people of New Zealand with her COVID policies.
Well is she wasn’t such a communist B.
Maybe she wouldn’t have been treated as bad.
Yeah?
Chris Hipkins huh? Well buckle up buttercup. I see in your resume’ that you were a, lemme get this right.... a “head boy” in school.
By the way, your ears are big, like Obama’s.
OZ and Kiwi health tyrants may pay for their abuse of power during sooner than they think.
Thin skinned commies.
Another Dumbo then.
Anybody else notice that all the authoritarian fascists use that phrase "it's not who we are" when their authoritarian fascism is exposed?
Just don’t be a Nazi Stalinist and you’ll be fine.
It’s obvious that Chris Hipkins pees sitting down.
That is part of the con. The con man leaves, another con stays behind to convince the dupes that they are the problem, instead of the cons. Gaslighting
Yes...my first thought when I saw it
Who would have thought it would become the most fascist COVID tyranny on Earth?
It’s a nation of sheep. And I’m not talking about the animals.
and THIS, is where all the rich elitists want to go to get away from the consequences of their own policies when the time comes...
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
I will be proven right on that.
This cuck already said they’re going to hunt down anyone who is not vaccinated and force-vaccinate them. Let’s see if he’s ready for the abuse he will get.
Ooooohhhhh....poor lady. All those mean tweets! Disgraceful!
