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.

No Surprise in Barnett's Ruling Out Compulsory Voting

No surprise here, in view of Barnett's statement a couple of weeks ago that he intended to remodel the so-called Dadour provision of the Local Government Act so that anyone who didn't vote was actually counted as being in favour of the amalgamation proposal being voted on. Heavens above! If they were actually made to vote, they might express their real preference and vote against the Government's wishes.
