I hope the Groundswell Farmers will now do the right thing and not take one dollar from the Labour government.

@AucklandCDEM What part of closed do these people don't seem to understand?

[Richard Green (He/Him/Ia) @Green4Mayor]

Just waiting for these fellas to show up now... stay safe everyone

[Richard Green (He/Him/Ia) @Green4Mayor]

@StuartBDonovan Occam's ones are great.

[Richard Green (He/Him/Ia) @Green4Mayor]

@Suzyiam Those that voted for him obviously weren't thinking. #parttimemayor

@NicolaWillisMP When was your last trip on a bus?

[Sarah B. @bartsnz]

I love this photo of our new ministers taken yesterday after their swearing in by the G-G. I also appreciate that there's not a single blue suit.

Mayor fires salvos at Council and AT after Puhoi visit https://t.co/ZmgdgRHbmz
Another demonstration of our empathetic mayor blaming others. Where's the metaphorical road building? Your job is to reassure! Missed that bit did you? #parttimemayor

Cats are at least as lethal as stoats or rats, but the old issue of trapping pets is as hot here as anywhere where volunteers labour to keep wildlife flourishing. https://t.co/B7nUCxYNmT

[Paul Barlow 🧋 @Ceriphinz]

An infectious disease expert as Minister of Health, a School Principal as Minster of Education, a Pacifica person for Minister of Pacific Peoples and Associate Pacific Peoples Health Minister. What was that line about real world experiences from the opposition?

[André Brett @DrDreHistorian]

Why on earth does NZ need a Minister for Auckland when there's already a Mayor of Auck—oh, yes, I see

[Mike Friend @MikeFri61754998]

To think that Aucklanders preferred Brown over Collins, simply by not showing up at the ballot box is a salutary lesson for the whole of NZ come this October. Not voting is tantamount to voting for the Right because the RW always show up! https://t.co/rI9ROieQFl

@CitizenBomber @GreenpeaceNZ @simonjbridges @damienmgrant @_chloeswarbrick @NZGreens @nzlabour @NZNationalParty @actparty @TUMEKE_blog @nzhpolitics The deputy mayor here showing some real leadership.

[Richard Green (He/Him/Ia) @Green4Mayor]

The job of a leader in a crisis is to show empathy, leadership, make informed evidenced based decisions (and communicate them), to reassure the public that things are in hand. Not hide in a cubby hole with hands over your ears saying "I can't hear you!" #parttimemayor

[Richard Green (He/Him/Ia) @Green4Mayor]

@Rachel_Smalley It's a sensible decision heading into a unknown situation. Worse case senario rising waters / road closure etc could isolate children from their families and cause more resources to be diverted to manage feeding / caring for those children and their already overworked teachers.

@shaneellall Auckland has voted in Stupid.

[Richard Green (He/Him/Ia) @Green4Mayor]

@miffhurley I find it amusing how people aren't looking forward to the empty nest, calling it a syndrome like its a disease. Wanting your kids to go out in the world and thrive while you reclaim your life is not a syndrome. It's part of life's journey which I'm looking forward to embracing.

[Richard Green (He/Him/Ia) @Green4Mayor]

This is a thing. Now with Matariki acknowledged let's get some more holidays that are contemporarily relevant https://t.co/cDQzbJu7pF

[James Shaw @jamespeshaw]

Here's a useful list of where Aucklanders can get and offer help.

Shout out to @_chloeswarbrick and her team for pulling it together. Things are unfolding, so details may change.

Note: it has been pulled together by volunteers, so isn’t exhaustive.
