Lovely words, Russell. She was a fine, inspiring woman and a loss to the country.

Thank you for posting this. While the country burns, we court Hollywood as the magic bullet? Sorry, they want bottom line about business. Of course I want gains in this area - I am in the biz (though not likely to profit from it). But what about the rest of NZ, the unemployed, those in manufacturing? I would love it to work, but this feels like a razzle-dazzle distraction from our real woes.
