I have to say I am warming to Andrew Little.
Bit late for that, Lynn! Are you saying that he should have stayed on? I completely disagree. If anyone's panicking it's the National Party. Jacinda as leader is a nightmare for them, which is going to lead to a much more closely contested election.

I treasured an article that Roi wrote in a 2003 edition of The Listener, about the amazing musical career of Wing. I couldn't find a link to that story, but he wrote another lovely generous story about her here.
