New Zealand PM Ardern returns girl's 'dragon research' bribe

11-year-old Victoria wrote to New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern asking to be given telekinetic powers so she could become a dragon trainer. She had also included NZ$5 ($3.20) with her letter, apparently as a bribe. Writing back, Ardern said: "We were very interested to hear your suggestions about psychics and dragons, but unfortunately we are not currently doing any work in either of these areas. "I am therefore returning your bribe money."
