People died from terrorism, a volcano and Covid.
But Ardern made quick decisions.
She saved lots of lives.

Many people liked her.
But now, her government's unpopular.
Prices in New Zealand are going up.
People are unhappy about this.
Some people feel sad.
They think Ardern’s a good leader.

But other people are happy.
They want a new government.
They want rules for businesses to change.
