Someone's Telling Porkies Again

Vincent Mayor, John Carey, said at tonight's Council Meeting that he had been given two 'explanations' of the omission of the Banks reserve area from the Vincent/Perth amalgamation map. One was that there had been an bureaucratic error (always an easy option to blame the public servants!); the other that it was intentional.

John said he had no way of knowing which was correct.

Well, the answer was staring us all in the face, but we just didn't see it. The map itself has the title "Expanded City of Perth, including parts of the Cities of Vincent, Nedlands and Subiaco and Town of Victoria Park".

Just to be clear, that is PARTS of all four - not all of the City of Vincent and parts of the others.

So, it's not that someone drew the map incorrectly, as the title presumably reflects the instructions given to the drafter of the map.
