She got re-elected with a huge margin and the NZ Labour Party now have a big mandate, a majority in parliament where they can govern without coalition.
It's rare to get good news stories of the left winning big these days, so this is a good one. Granted NZ has a populaiton of 5 million which is way smaller than major US cities, but it's still quite amazing.
