RIP Roger Kerr

Having been offshore for over 8 years now I haven't had the pleasure of spending as much time with Roger as many of my friends have. It's a sign of his ability to articulate excellent ideas consistently without going into the gutter - that explains the huge outpouring of tributes to the man from across the political divide.

A massive loss to the political debate in New Zealand that I hope will be never forgotten. Another man gone too soon, too early, too young.

Cactus Kate sums it up beautifully.

Also good posts from Kiwiblog, Liberty Scott and Lindsay Mitchell
