RT @ethanjmanera: BREAKING: Former Labour leader Andrew Little has confirmed he is considering a tilt at the Wellington mayoralty. https:/…

Big smiles but actually big sads. Saying goodbye to this queen after nearly nine years working together 😭 @GeorgeKCampbell https://t.co/lfGXBkSySt

Have been working with George since I joined the Herald in 2016 and can hardly believe it's over. You are an absolute star and I know you'll continue being one even if it's not in journalism ✨

Some personal news... I will soon leave the New Zealand Herald to take up a Head of Mayor's Office role with Campbell Barry at Hutt City Council. While I am sad to say goodbye to journalism after almost a decade, I am really looking forward to this new opportunity.
