    " Nobody marched when I was elected."

    New Zealand's newly elected Prime Minister had a brief encounter with Donald Trump at the recent Apec conference, she recounts:

    "I was waiting to walk out to be introduced at the East Asia Summit gala dinner, where we all paraded and while we were waiting, Trump, in jest, patted the person next to him on the shoulder, pointed at me and said, 'This lady caused a lot of upset in her country', talking about the election.

    "I said, 'Well, you know, only maybe 40 per cent', then he said it again and I said, 'You know', laughing, 'no-one marched when I was elected'

    There is nothing quite as permanent as a good temporary repair.

    A reasonable person leading a country? What a concept. Maybe we should try it again someday.
