Judith Collins says "woman of colour" tweet was a mistake

From The Panel, 4:09 pm on 15 November 2019

Judith Collins has called herself a "woman of colour". In the now-deleted tweet, the National MP was supporting a ban on female genital mutilation. And important issue that was somewhat undermined by this line - quote "I am a Woman of Colour - the colour white."

She has since apologised, saying she deleted it after a staff member told her it was offensive. She admits it was a mistake.
