Women entering politics are common in the modern era. However, women who are respected in the world of politics can be counted with fingers. Take Ardern for example. The woman who was born in Hamilton, New Zealand, July 26, 1980, has entered the ranks of representatives of the people of New Zealand since 2008.

His actions as a member of parliament are not easy. He is often underestimated because he was born as a woman. He is considered not to understand much in the world of politics. However, Ardern actually showed the opposite.

His presence in the Labor Party brought a new color. The Labor Party was flooded with volunteers. In fact, the contribution of the Labor Party has increased due to the presence of volunteers known as Jacindamania.

The people of New Zealand are excited again with the world of politics. Moreover, Ardern himself was elected as PM of New Zealand since 2017. He represented the hopes of many people. Initially Ardern's popularity was only known on a domestic scale.

Later Ardern has often appeared in the world's mass media for carrying out a series of quick response measures. He immediately went to the families of the victims of the tragedy of the shooting of the Christchurch Mosque in 2019. He set a day of national mourning. His speech then touched the world.

We may have laid flowers, performed haka (traditional dance), sang songs, or just hugged. However, even when we can't speak, we still hear what you say, and your words have made us humble and united.

Over the past two weeks we have heard stories from those affected by this terrorist attack. Those stories are stories of courage. Stories about those born here, growing here, or making New Zealand their home. Those who have sought refuge, or seek a better life for themselves or their families," Ardern said as his full speech quoted on The Guardian's page, March 28, 2019.

Ardern's popularity continues to increase when New Zealand is surrounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ardern acted deftly by making quick and measurable decisions. This condition makes the virus transmission rate from Wuhan significant.

The new species of giant crickets is considered by them to represent Ardern's spirit. The color is red - similar to the Labor Party. The giant Jangkrik is also considered as beautiful as Ardern. Ardern himself is happy that he is not playing with his name immortalized as the name cricket.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has accepted what may be his biggest award so far: a large cricket named after him. A new species of giant flying cricket that is an endemic animal in New Zealand is named Hemiandrus Jacinda because it is typical of the Labor Party's red color.
