- Strike One - yesterday's revelations that David Shearer is a fan of private mercenaries, whilst as recently as 2003 Phil, according to Patrick Gower in this morniong's Herald referred to mercenary work as "paid murder"
- Strike Two - The same Gower story quotes Keeping Stock's old friend Jill Ovens of the Service and Food Workers Union ( and partner of our other old friend, "Megaphone Len" Richards) puts the kibbosh on Mr Shearer by playing the gender card. Gower says "The Service and Food Workers Union's northern region secretary, Jill Ovens, said the affiliated unions would not be endorsing any particular Labour candidate. She said her personal view was that it should be a woman, as Labour no longer had a female electorate MP in Auckland with the departure of Helen Clark."

Does that suggest that if Labour do not choose a woman for MT. Albert that Len will go round to Phil's house in Mt Roskill and hit Phil over the head with his megaphone?
That would be `strike 3 and you are out - lol.
Very good pdm, but Phil actually lives at Karaka, a long way from the streets of Mt Roskill.
As for Megaphone Len, that would be strike two for him, and maybe this time the police would do something!
I am sure the Union has a car that Jill could use to get Len and his megaphone to Karaka.
