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.

More Mushroom Treatment

Not only have neither we nor the Parliament been told by this Government how much the forced local government amalgamations would cost nor the scale of the 'benefits' they would bring, we now see the same treatment applied the proposed remerger of Verve and Synergy. If the Minister doesn't have the figures yet, how on earth can he justify rushing the legislation into Parliament.

Oh! And just in case the Minister thinks he can simply throw a few numbers at us to keep us quiet, there are many of us who would want to know what the inputs and assumptions were for the assessment. Changes such as this are as much about risk management as they are about predictable outcomes - something that too many politicians seem to be unable or unwilling to grasp.
