The National Party has removed a social media post mocking the funding of a Mongrel Mob-led meth rehab programme in Hawke's Bay after TradeMe claimed it breached its intellectual property.
The imitation auction image posted on Twitter on Tuesday by the National Party account was captioned "nothing to see here" and showed a listing by seller gangs@ganghq.com for Meth Rehab on a site called Deal Me selling for $2.75m.
The fictional sellers' other listings included meth, marijuana and 'misc' pills.
It comes in the wake of the Government's decision to sign off on a $2.75 million drug rehabilitation programme that is being led by Mongrel Mob members.
