NZ PM politely declined an bribe to fund dragon research

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has politely rejected an 11-year-old girl's $5 bribe to conduct research into dragons and psychics - but said she would "keep an eye out for those dragons".

A picture of a letter, reportedly from the PM, was posted on Reddit last week with the caption: "turns out my littlest sister (11yo) tried to bribe Jacinda". 

In it, Ms Ardern thanked Victoria for getting in touch with the government but said they were not currently doing any work in the areas of psychics and dragons.

"I am therefore returning your bribe money," the letter reads, which was pictured alongside a New Zealand five dollar note.

"I wish you all the very best in your quest for telekinesis."
