Louisa Wall height - How tall is Louisa Wall?

Wall ran for reselection as the Labour candidate for Manurewa at the 2020 general election. Arena Williams and Ian Dunwoodie filed to challenge Wall for the party selection. Dunwoodie had previously run for selection in 2011, but lost to Wall. The selection was scheduled to be held on 21 March 2020, but was delayed due to a complaint about whether some new party electorate branch members lived in Manurewa and were eligible to vote in the selection process. In May, Wall's partner and lawyer Prue Kapua contacted the national party council, claiming that Williams' application was late, and warned that legal action would be taken if it was not rejected. The selection was rescheduled to 30 May, but Wall withdrew her application on 29 May, and will run as a list-only candidate in the general election.

In May 2012, Wall submitted a Bill to legalise same-sex marriage in New Zealand to the Member's bill ballot. it was subsequently drawn and introduced to Parliament in late July 2012.

On 17 April 2013, the Bill was passed into law by 77 votes to 44, making New Zealand the 13th nation to allow same-sex marriage. The Bill came into effect on 19 August 2013, since then married same sex couples in New Zealand have been able to adopt children jointly.

Wall returned to Parliament as a Labour List MP, after she was selected in December 2010 to represent Labour in Manurewa due to the retirement of George Hawkins. Serving in the 49th New Zealand Parliament, she subsequently won the Manurewa electorate in the 2011 election and returned to the 50th New Zealand Parliament. She continued to hold Manurewa by a comfortable margin in both the 2014 and 2017 elections.
