Michelle Boag is a senior executive at Momentum in the public relations field, and Dame Jenny Shipley is on the Momentum Consulting Group board. The CV scandal refers to Momentum's part in the appointment of Roger Wilce as a top scientist in the Defence Force and his dismissal after his credentials were found to be false.

Michelle Boag has been involved in an email scandal in which she asked the recipient in an email bearing the company's logo to let her know if they wanted to contribute to Mr Banks' campaign. In another email also bearing Momentum livery and under the heading "John Banks for Mayor", Ms Boag says she wants "a more experienced Mayor for the first Super City which will also help the National Party to another term in central government".
