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.

At the third reading, Wall gave a speech[6] likening the passing of the Bill to Treaty of Waitangi settlement acts previously passed by the New Zealand Parliament.[7] She stated the passing of the Bill was like winning a "World Cup final".[8]

Sporting career

Wall was named in the Silver Ferns 1989 team, aged 17, having been an outstanding athlete and scholar at Taupo-nui-a-Tia College.[9]
