Rod Donald died November 6th 2005, less than 2 months after the September 17 general elections which saw the Greens returned to Parliament yet again. Rod was the co-leader (with Jeanette Fitzsimons) of the Green Party of Aotearoa / New Zealand at the time. In this clip, on June 3rd, 2000, Rod is addressing the Winter 2000 GPANZ Conference at Turangi. It is the first conference following the 1999 General elections, the second under the then-new Mixed-Member Proportional voting system that Rod had championed as the Vice-Chair of the Electoral Reform Coalition for a decade. This clip includes Rod's opening comments only.
