i second that, hilikus. Mr. Lange has been so influential on nz politics and in such good ways. NZ could do with another leader like him. very good man. my prayers are also with the Lange family.
"However, his wife said he was still keeping up with politics and found a photo stunt by National Party leader Don Brash in a speedway car at Western Springs "the most amusing thing he'd seen all week"."
