Radio host’s emotional Jacinda speech

How the country will cope with a pregnant Prime Minister?

The answer: Absolutely fine according to Megan Papas.

The radio host from ZM’s Fletch Vaughn and Megan show spoke out this morning in support of Jacinda Adern’s pregnancy, gender equality and how New Zealand needs to “embrace change.”

Papas said she avoided social media last Friday, knowing the toxic reaction many would have to Jacinda’s news. But she decided to speak out on behalf of those who don’t get the chance to be heard.

"I am a woman who gets to speak her mind every day, and for those who don’t have the platform or the support to do so, this is for you."
