The ACT Party's glitzy campaign launch was overshadowed by a moustachioed protestor who snuck into the event - incognito - at the weekend.
More than 500 people gathered in Auckland's Civic Theatre where ACT was poised to promote its fierce opposition to co-governance.

Our political reporter Anneke Smith was there.
