Auckland's Mayor has called out councillors by name as he seeks support for selling council airport shares.

Brown took aim at councillors, John Watson, Wayne Walker, Mike Lee and Christine Fletcher, for pushing back on share sales.

Councillor Mike Lee told Jack Tame that the people of Auckland have expressed that they don’t want the sale to go ahead, and he is on the side of the people.
