Tributes have been flowing for the former Greens co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons, who died suddenly last night aged 75.
Ms Fitzsimons was hospitalised yesterday after falling while out working on the farm and her husband Harry Parke says she then suffered a stroke and died shortly before 10pm.
Jeanette is being remembered as a tireless activist, a steward of New Zealand's green movement with unwavering convictions, who treated everyone with dignity, no matter their politics.
