In New Zealand politics, there's a place for toeing the party line and it seems Labour MP Louisa Wall struggled to find that.
Former netball and rugby union international Wall leaves after 14 years with a list of achievements, as rival Christopher Bishop described, greater as an MP than
almost every minister in the party she belonged to.
Wall legalised same-sex marriage; made revenge porn a crime; established safe zones around abortion clinics and allowed the late Katherine Harris to be named as the mother on the birth certificate of her daughter, Paige. Her Members' Bill to protect investigative journalism is with a select committee.
