Canterbury businessman Dave Gaughan, who was called out for racist remarks against Māori, is quitting his brewing company.
Following an apology to New Zealand last week for a social media comment, the Eagle Brewing NZ owner said he had sought legal advice, andhad decided to resign.
He told RNZ he would leave the business and "step down as a director of Eagle Brewing New Zealand and will transfer his shareholding in the company to his wife [Marilyn Yoseres]".
