aunty Helen

Helen Clark - New Zealand's second female prime minister. At one time Forbes magazine ranked her as the 38th most powerful woman in the world.

In New Zealand non European-descent ethnic groups refer to their elders as 'uncle' or aunty'. Helen Clark is widely supported among the various ethnic groups in New Zealand.

Her detractors often refer to her as 'uncle Helen' in an attempt to describe her appearance and/or demeanour.

Prime Minister Clark: Kia ora mate! Not too bad aye.
Random guy 2: Bugger me! It's uncle Helen.. piss of ya lesbo!
