The health system is broken.
The education system is broken.
Roads are broken.
Racial division is worse.
The imported indignation which fuels culture wars is worse.
The social poison of identity politics is worse.
The economic outlook is gloomy .
Her successor has dumped, or at least postponed, some of her policies . . .
None of this will feature in Jacinda Ardern's valedictory statement today but her response to the Mosque attacks probably will.
She gets credit for that but it's a response any of our recent Prime Ministers, any decent person, would have made.
And so much in New Zealand is far worse than when she took over.
What a legacy!
