What the world is saying about Chris Hipkins
The news that Chris Hipkins is set to be New Zealand's new Prime Minister has made its way around the world.
International media outlets are doing their research on the man who is in line to replace Jacinda Ardern as leader.
Hipkins' considerable experience and humour are being highlighted in news articles online, but there have been questions raised about whether his role in New Zealand's approach to the COVID-19 pandemic could hinder or help the Labour MP.
While Hipkins still needs to be formally endorsed by the Labour Party in the House of Representatives on Sunday before he can become leader, the news has still made waves all over the world.
