Spot The Difference

I must have been so aghast on Monday at the atrocious treatment of the Banks community in Vincent that I failed to see the significance of the little insert map at the top right. Spot the difference between the 'before' (downloaded around 12.30pm on Monday) and the 'after' (the one now on the same website and attached to the same media release).

BEFORE                                                                                 AFTER

Thanks to the West Australian for redrawing the map and drawing out the meaning - although I wish they'd put their map on their website to save me the trouble of scanning it. Apart from the obvious response to vociferous communities in Vincent and Fremantle (and Stirling - although this is not 'already outlined', as the West states - just inadvertently included in both the before and after maps), there is a change to Serpentine-Jarrahdale. I have to admit, I'm not up to speed on how much community pressure there has been here, although I do know the proposed merger with Armadale was not popular, but is it purely co-incidental that the Shire is in Homer's electorate?
