This is the personal blog of Ian Ker, who was Councillor for the South Ward of the Town of Vincent from 1995 to 2009. I have been a resident of this area since 1985. This blog was originally conceived as a way of letting residents of Vincent know what I have been doing and sharing thoughts on important issues. I can now use it to sound off about things that concern me.

If you want to contact me, my e-mail is still ian_ker@hotmail.com or post a comment on this blog.

Backdown Barnett

Amazing - another example of an entirely predictable community backlash causing a substantial change in policy. What is it with this Government that it is so out of touch with real people that it can't even anticipate the blindingly obvious.
I wouldn't blame the families here on 457 visas if they adopted the spirit of the slogan that led to the War of American Independence: no taxation without representation - in their case, it might be 'no taxation without education'.
