STUFF.CO.NZ: ACT party president Garry Mallett today would not rule out Auckland barrister David Garrett as the mystery candidate ranked fifth on its list.
Mr Mallett, asked to confirm whether Mr Garrett was a candidate or not said "why would I do that?". The party was to make an announcement on Sunday.
The fifth spot was left vacant when ACT announced its list on August 20.
Labour-aligned blogsite the Standard said Mr Garrett was a legal advisor to the Sensible Sentencing Trust.
Mr Garrett did not immediately return calls.
He has written pieces for the New Zealand Herald – just recently on gangs and earlier in the year against prostitution law reform legislation, which he said was a disaster.
