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.

Rewriting (Unwriting?) History

How long, I wonder, before the Liberal (now there's a misnomer if ever there was one) governments of Tony Abbott and Colin Barnett do something similar here. They already have a track record of concealing information (on the boats, for example), policy without information (forced local government amalgamations in WA) and changing the rules to reduce dissent (House of Representatives standing order changes and the current Local Government Amendment Bill in WA).

Yet another area where the right-wing parties are living in the past - and don't know how the internet works. All the deleted material is almost certainly available elsewhere on the internet (as a number of comments to this article state - including giving details of how they can be accessed). All they succeed in doing is making themselves look stupid - so what's new?
