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.

No Fairy Godmother for Barnett in Canberra

Fresh from giving away WA's AAA credit rating, Colin Barnett has received short shrift from Tony Abbott in response to his suggestion that the GST be increased to ease the financial pressures his government has created for WA.

Next reality check for Barnett will be Abbott's refusal to fund projects like the Airport Rail Link White Elephant and possibly even the MAX.

There are even some road projects (the federal government's 'knitting' according to Abbott) that must seen as doubtful as they weren't included in the Liberal Party's election costings.
