Must not say that toothy Prime Ministers are attractive
Viewers have slammed 60 Minutes [TV] reporter Charles Wooley after he called Jacinda Ardern 'attractive' in what has been labelled a 'patronising' and 'repugnant' interview.
Speaking to the New Zealand Prime Minister on 60 Minutes on Sunday night, Mr Wooley said 'I've met a lot of Prime Ministers in my time, but none too young and not so many so smart, and never one so attractive'.
After the episode aired, scores of offended viewers flocked to Twitter to share their outrage.
'Commenting on Jacinda Ardern's level of attractiveness doesn't seem to be at all relevant to her ability as a nation's leader,' one woman said.
'Absolutely cringeworthy. The things women have to put up with,' another said.
Viewers also questioned Mr Wooley's general approach to the interview.
'Charles Wooley interviewing Jacinda Ardern on 60 Minutes would have to go down as the most patronising interview for a long time,' one critic said.
'"I've met a lot of Prime Ministers in my time, none as good looking". Imagine a woman reporter saying that about a man.'
Another critic said the tone of the interview left him 'gagging'.

Oh dear, a man thought that a woman was attractive. I suspect that the complainers are not attractive.
If a woman said that about a man, he would feel complimented. You would never see this kind of "outrage". Why is it women spend thousands of $$ per year to look good, but get offended if someone notices? You would not have multi million$ companies like Revlon if women do not like to look good.
Uses toothpaste uses brush don't listen to whiny liberals
I'm old enough to remember that PM Harold Holt was dubbed, "Handsome Harold", and nobody thought that was offensive.
I've seen Jacinda.
She's ain't that attractive.
