Tributes for two great politicians

In parliament today tributes were given from all sides of the house to former Prime Minister David Lange, who died earlier this year, and Greens co-leader Rod Donald who died suddenly this past weekend. http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/newsdetail1.asp?storyID=83747

I thought David Lange was an excellent Prime Minister throughout his term in the 1980s. He did a lot of things which had to be done for this country. Wish he could have carried on longer as Prime Minister than he did.

Even though I don't support the Green Party, Rod Donald appeared to be a very honourable politician (not many are!) His death was well before his time. He was an exercise and health freak - perhaps he tried too hard to be healthy??
