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.

When 14 Means 15 or Possibly 16 or…

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-11-05
The Premier was adamant, at one time, that the number of metropolitan local governments would be reduced from 30 to 14 - and that there were good and cogent reasons for doing so.

Now he is reported as saying that "there is no final figure set but the overall objective is to halve the number of councils, now whether it's 14, 15 or 16, we haven't got to that."

Sorry, Premier, what was that you said?

At this late stage of your supposedly well thought out plan you haven't yet resolved how many councils there should be?

Presumably some people are going to have to be working very hard for the next few days if, as you said, "over the next week or so the boundaries for the other areas will be finalised and released".

And I do hope that either you or Homer will have the courtesy, not extended to the Mayor of Vincent, to let the affected local councils know before you issue your media releases.
