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.

Now, There's a Surprise!

The City of Perth Council has formally rejected taking in all of the City of Vincent - no surprise there after recent statements and events. Congratulations, though, to Cr Jim Adamos for at least bringing some logic into the debate in contrast to the 'cherry-picking' approach demonstrated by the Lord Mayor and other City of Perth councillors.

Now, we all need to consider very carefully what this means for the City of Vincent Plebiscite. Colin Barnett has said all of Vincent could go to Perth if the two councils could agree - clearly they cannot. So the only way forward is with a strong vote in favour of not abolishing the City of Vincent (Question 2). As regards Question 1, it now appears to be largely academic, but logic dictates we should still favour the option that keeps all of Vincent together - and stuff the City of Perth and whether it wants all of us or not.
