A challenge in Manurewa

Informed sources tell me that Labour’s Manurewa MP, Louisa Wall, is about to get challenged for the nomination.

The challenger is Ian Dunwoodie, who lost to her in 2010. I understand he has signed up lots of members and is likely to win the floor vote. It will then come down to whom the unions and head office support.

Will Labour drop a gay Maori woman (who got through the same sex marriage law change) for a white male lawyer?
