New Zealand opposition leader launches campaign for 'brave' tackling of inequality

WELLINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) New Zealand’s 37-year-old opposition leader, Jacinda Ardern, officially launched her election campaign today, pledging her government would be “bold”, “brave” and tackle rising inequality should it win next month’s election.
Ardern is riding a surge in the polls just three weeks after her appointment to the leadership of the centre-left Labour Party opened up what had been predicted to be a straightforward re-election of the incumbent centre-right government, which has held power for a decade.
New Zealand has been buoyed by some of the strongest economic growth among advanced countries in recent years.
