What Colin Barnett Did………

Fremantle Herald, 23rd November 2013

I don't want to buy into the Fremantle/East Fremantle issues, but Michael Willicombe raises a key point when he says that what Col Pot did was to create a starting point so ridiculous that any improvement would seem like a win (to those gullible…).

As I have mentioned many times here, including in the most recent post, it might seem like a win to have gone from a proposal to split Vincent to one where all (except the riverside residents of Banks Precinct) disappear into the City of Perth, but the outcome is not guaranteed to allow the continuation of those things we value about Vincent.

Why, one might well ask, is the City of Perth proposing to make a traffic sewer of Newcastle Street that would sever the current Vincent from Northbridge and the city?

No prizes for stating the obvious answer.
