The pitter-patter of little feet will soon be heard throughout Parliament as the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern has been successfully cloned one hundred times. Six more than the boys from Brazil. Another world first for the high flying, world-beating PM.

A billionaire philanthropist, who does such good progressive work for the whole of humanity, had built a special Lab in Morrinsville – and rather than using surrogates had grown the clones in special tanks – another world first.
