So a huge fuss was made about a big sky rocket, so much fuss that even Pork Chop was flown in by Heli-crane.

From the moment I boarded the chop­per at Mechan­ics Bay on Sun­day with my friend Paul Holmes and Labour MP David Shearer, it was the sen­ti­ment most often repeated.

Ok so we know that is a lie right there as there is no way a chop­per could have taken off with all that weight on board let alone adding David Shearer and Paul Holmes.

The inter­est­ing thing here though is that David Shearer was going along for the trip to Mer­cury Island. Now that is some way from Mt Albert so either David Shearer has a fetish for rock­ets and was look­ing at ways of inte­grat­ing them into his plan for a pri­va­tised NZ Army or there was some­thing else behind his trip to the Island.

Of course they were all going to Sir Michael Fay’s place, Pork Chop’s good friend (yeah right), so per­haps that is the real inter­est­ing part of the story that has been missed.

Sir Michael has been known to be a good, good friend of Labour in the past, could it be per­haps that he is financ­ing David Shear­ers bid to take over from Goff when the time is right?

Sir Michael Fay famously had a brass plaque on his desk in his Auck­land Office that said “Noth­ing for Noth­ing, Fuck you”.

One won­ders what the some­thing for some­thing is?  Because clearly David Shearer didn’t get the fuck you part oth­er­wise he wouldn’t have been there.

Inter­est­ing times ahead all.
