New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern set a standard for leaders worldwide when she picked up US television host and writer Stephen Colbert, who hosts CBS talk programme The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, from the airport during his visit to her country.

When Colbert thanked Ardern for “cutting into her executive time” to drive him from the airport, she replied: “I’m a woman. I multitask.”
