(Reuters) - New Zealand not only has its youngest female prime minister with the rise to power of centre-left Labour leader Jacinda Ardern, but a renegade new "first bloke" who is a national celebrity in his own right.
Clarke Gayford, who hosts his own fishing television show, has already broken the mould of his predecessors, stepping in to defend his partner against "scaremongering old dinos" including one political rival who made a disparaging reference to Ardern and "lipstick on a pig".
