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.

We'll Hold You To That, Col

When the carbon tax was introduced, Synergy infamously increased green power charges by the same percentage as power from fossil fuel on the spurious grounds that it couldn't differentiate fossil fuel electricity from renewable power. This argument was totally at odds with its ability to charge green power users a higher tariff in the first place.

So, Col, when (if? - I wouldn't be holding my breath) electricity charges come down, they'd better come down by as much for green power as for fossil-fuel power. No spurious arguments about the carbon tax not applying to green power.
