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.

Another Side of Sustainability

Colin Barnett has been big on the rhetoric of financial sustainability as a basis for forcing amalgamations of local governments - totally ignoring the fact that most of our current local governments, including Vincent, are financially sustainable.

However, there are many other aspects of sustainability that are important to us individually and collectively as a community. As a passionate supporter of sustainability initiatives (I am a Committee Member of the Sustainable Transport Coalition of WA, amongst other things), I was delighted to see that the City of Vincent is doing its bit to help all of us create a more sustainable future.
