Marama Davidson takes seat in parliament
Manurewa has another wahine Maori MP.
Long time resident Marama Davidson was sworn in today as a Green Party list member, replacing former leader Russel Norman.=
Labour’s Manurewa MP Louisa Wall, who worked with Ms Davidson at the Human Rights Commission, is looking forward to working with her again.
"Marama is very strong and always has been in voicing her opinions so we are never left wondering what she thinks abut she thinks about issues but I am really looking forward to having someone else in Manurewa as well. It obviously strengthens the advocacy and the opportunity for us as members of parliament to identify the issues for south Auckland and to work constructively to address them," she says.
Louisa Wall says she and Marama Davidson will also be members of the same Piki Te Ora branch of the Maori Women’s Welfare League in Manurewa.
