NZ First MP Clayton Mitchell owned bars before his election in 2014A bar owned by NZ First MP Clayton Mitchell was investigated by gambling authorities over concerns about underage gambling on pokie machines. Mitchell owned the Mount Mellick Irish pub in Mt Maunganui with former police officer Brad Shipton, who was subsequently disgraced over a rape conviction. The commission also said it had "concerns" about the poor quality of CCTV images at the pub. The Liquor Licensing Authority shut down the pub for a week over the promo which it branded "unacceptable" and "irresponsible." Mark McKeown 'Leprechaun curling' became a Saturday night event at the Mount Mellick in Mount Maunganui.
