The case of Michael Wood, I think, has got to go down in history as one of the most confusing political stuff-ups ever, don’t you think? He should have declared them all when the Cabinet Office was chasing him about the airport shares- twelve times. Because if the other shares were in the same ball-park as the Auckland Airport shares, around $16,000- it’s not worth it. No-one thinks this is an oversight, because Michael Wood is not a stupid man. Because it would have been a bad day for New Zealand if Michael Wood had come back to his job as Transport Minister.
