White right on display in Trump debate
Manurewa MP Louisa Wall says the campaign of United States presidential candidate Donald Trump is a demonstration of white male privilege in action.
The Republican's campaign is in turmoil after a 10-year-old tape emerged of him saying that because he was a star he could do anything he wanted to women.
Ms Wall says Mr Trump is used to controlling his world because of his money.
She says yesterday's ill-tempered town hall style debate with Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton was another low point.
"They didn't really debate the policies. We are taught not only on the sporting field but in politics to play the ball not the man because it's all about healthy debate, ideas. People who are in the game because they actually want to serve the people and I think he just wants to serve himself," Ms Wall says.
