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.

Amazing (well, perhaps not) how many people say, as new Vincent Councillor Laine McDonald does, that their preference is for Vincent to stay as it is. More amazing is how many, including the City of Vincent Council, fell into the trap of giving up on this very early in the piece.

Notwithstanding Vincent's formal proposal to the Local Government Advisory Board that the whole of Vincent be incorporated into the City of Perth, there is still real hope that the people of Vincent will be able to express their real views in response to any proposal - see yesterday's blog 'Dadour Provision Safe - For Now - But Minister Calls It Anti-Democratic'.

It's important that the City of Vincent Council does not withdraw it's proposal, to ensure that electors will have something better than either the Barnett/Simpson or City of Perth proposals to vote on.
