You might remember New Zealand Prime Minister **Jacinda Ardern** made headlines recently after referring to a fellow politician as an "arrogant pr\*\*\*" when her mic was still on.

She was talking about **David Seymour** who leads the libertarian ACT Party and who had been shooting question after question at her about her Labour government's record for a good seven minutes.

And just when we all thought, uh oh, where could this all possibly go from here? Things have taken a surprisingly kind turn!

The two politicians teamed up [to auction](https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/art/nz-artists/listing/3909337579?fbclid=IwAR2v3Aw%5F2c-1Pi7Vab2PKLE2vo8UTGMQX1m3DahoCt0XIbAhfpOQ0C9m04M&ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) off an official parliamentary script of their words for charity, raising just over $NZ100,000 in the process.

"Can't say I expected this," the PM writes on her official[ Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=699108131584415&set=a.479142006914363) page.

"A faux pas with the old mic in parliament has turned into $100,100 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. My thanks to David for being a good sport and to everyone who placed a bid."

The online auction - hilriously referred to as "Ardern, Seymour Join Forces For Pr\*\*\*s Everywhere" - received more than 280 bids.
