One of Aotearoa’s finest voices Mahinarangi Tocker has died in hospital at the age of 52 from complications of an asthema attack.
It is a really sad moment. Here is the NZ Herald page of public tributes. You can also add your own as comments on this post, if you wish.

The reason for the switch is that the version of WordPress in use on the old servers stopped accepting posts. Suddenly. And I got a new job, and tried to fix it, repaired the database - but something else was wrong, but rather than spend the Summer break finding out what, I did what any computer wizard is supposed to be able to do, and rehosted the website and restored the database. That explains slight differences. But disconnection is terribly unkind to readership. We are reducing are advertising rates as a result, well we would if we charged for advertising.
