methamphetamine. For Holmes, this is an issue that cuts close to the bone as his own daughter has had a high-profile struggle with P addiction. The charity event is a celebrity roasting in which Holmes is the target. It gives guests the chance to have a go at Holmes or “roast” him on whatever issues they choose. It has been years since Holmes has been roasted and he says, “I don’t particularly want to be roasted again because it’s quite a savage experience as a matter of fact and I’m not particularly good at replying but it’s all in a good cause and some of the great old speakers are appearing.” It is being run by the Steller Trust, a group which has formed in Auckland to try and do something about pure methamphetamine.
The Trust includes eminent people such as the Reverend of the Holy Trinity in Auckland Ross Bay, Radio Network general manager Bill Francis, Detective Inspector Bruce Good, former headmaster of Auckland Grammar John Graham and Crown Prosecutor Simon Moore.
