Oh, my god.

David Lange died last night.

I was born under his Labour government. So to be honest, I barely remember anything about him as Prime Minister; but he was undeniably one of the most personally influential leaders NZ has ever had, and also my second-favourite former PM (Peter Fraser is my favourite). Also, his policies on nuclear weapons have really, they've shaped the country, it's part of our national identity.

Oh, my god. I'm just... stunned. Shocked.

Yeah. And I found a RW site earlier today that said he was kind of the creator of the welfare state. And you know how much I love the welfare state. :)
