Australian here. I just asked a handful of friends. Not a single person knew who he was.
They all knew Jacinta though.
who?
Happy cake day!
That was my exact response, too. Apparently he's the NZ PM and leader of the conservative National Party, in coalition with the far-right libertarian ACT and the far-right populist NZ First.
🫡 belated happy cake day to you too :) I just noticed we both signed up within 2 days of each other
Guaranteed that the majority of respondents know fuck all about him and responded how they did based purely on him being leader of New Zealand and would have said the same if the Prime Minister was a pou whenua
“The Lowy Institute - an Australian geopolitics think tank”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowy_Institute
"a disgraceful propaganda campaign"
That explains everything.
Guarantee I could ask every person on this train and I'd be lucky to find one person who knew who he was. Trash poll.
Chiming in as one of the apparently many who don’t know who Chunky Peter Dutton is…
