Louisa Wall leaves parliament
#1
After 14 years Louisa Wall has resigned as an MP. That seems a bit sudden but maybe she's just had enough of it.

"First elected in 2008 as an MP on Labour's list, Wall held the seat of Manurewa from 2011 to 2020. During her time in Parliament, she championed and won marriage equality for same-sex couples in 2013, passed law that establishes safe zones for women having abortions and in most recent weeks advanced legislation for Paige Harris.
"It's been an honour to represent and provide a voice in parliament to those who are so often unheard," Wall said. 
"I've loved working as a parliamentarian and have enjoyed building relationships with colleagues across the house. Most recently I've thoroughly enjoyed my role as co-chair of the Inter-parliamentary Alliance on China and advocating for human rights."
Ardern, as Labour leader, paid tribute to the outgoing MP. 
"Louisa has been a hero to many throughout her parliamentary career. Her commitment to human rights and equality has been absolutely unwavering. She has been relentless in her pursuit of human rights for all," Ardern said. "
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
