The public have taken to Twitter to express their thoughts.
Our anti-poor Mayor Dan Plato with some disgraceful behaviour not befitting a mayor. I wonder if he'd tell a resident of an affluent suburb who asked a legitimate question to "shut up"? https://t.co/hJPFd2uZHA

A whole mayor saying "shut up" to a concerned resident. How the hell do you treat people that way? How? I am so tired of my people being treated like trash.
