Description: Former PM Jenny Shipley and former National Party President Michelle Boag sit together over a glass of wine in the 'Momentum Consulting' offices. Boag is reading a newspaper with a headline reading 'Super City recruiter challenged after defence CV scandal. They are outraged that an assumption is being made that because they got it wrong with 'this man Wilce' they will also get it wrong when they line up the supercity executives and agree that it is unfair to think that 'we don't know our own friends'. 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. Momentum was contracted to recruit about 45 Auckland Super City executives but Ms Boag said she would not be involved after claims that her links with Mr Banks' mayoral campaign created a conflict of interest. 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".
