Mark Mitchell: National police spokesperson says he doesn't buy Labour MP Ingrid Leary accidentally crashing Mongrel Mob hui - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

National's Mark Mitchell says it's hard to swallow an explanation a Labour MP went to a Mongrel Mob hui by mistake.

A long-time gang member wrote on Facebook that Taieri MP Ingrid Leary- whose name he didn't add - gate crashed the event.

Leary says she thought it was an Electoral Commission meeting, and attending didn't mean she condones the Mongrel Mob's actions.

Mitchell says he doesn't buy it-  and she's either been extremely naïve, or turned up to participate in the hui.
