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.

Something Wrong With The Plebiscite

Looks like the Electoral Commission has made an error in the plebiscite questions for Vincent. As published on the EC website, the boundary reform plebiscite has the first question and responses, but only the responses (Yes/No), not the question, for the other one ('Should City of Vincent be abolished?').

There should be a second question ('Should City of Vincent be abolished?') before the Yes/No responses.

As it stands, the question and responses don't make sense, and certainly don't form a clear basis for electors to show their choices.
I hope that this format is, in any case, simply for recording votes and that the actual ballot paper will be rather easier to interpret.
