Checkpoint has been trying to reach some of the protest intermediaries who met Act leader David Seymour to discuss what he called a "mature de-escalation" of the stand-off at Parliament.
Checkpoint can reveal that one of the people he met near the Backbencher pub is Glenn Inwood.
Inwood confirmed he was at meeting, but wouldn't explain his exact role.
He told Lisa Owen he had no involvement in the protest other than knowing some of the protesters whom he supported 100 percent.
Inwood has previously worked for Radio New Zealand and was a spokesperson for the institute that runs Japan's so called "scientific" whaling programme.
He was also press secretary in the Clark Labour government working for then-Minister Lianne Dalziel.
Now according to his professional profile Inwood is a partner in a firm specialising in marine global governance.
