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.

Thank You Simon O'Brien, MLC

All credit to Simon O'Brien, MLC, for breaking ranks and stating that the emperor is engaging in verbal gymnastics and is being tricky with words. 
His words are very heartening to those of us who have been opposing the process by which this Government has been trying to force local government amalgamations while claiming it is not doing.

We know that Barnett couldn't get removal of the Dadour poll provision through his own party room. Simon O'Brien has made clear what many of us already knew - that having failed to change the rules, Barnett and Simpson are now bending those rules to breaking point in a vain attempt to get their own way. 

We can only hope than when they fail in that, too, they will take their bat and ball and leave the rest of us to get on with life unencumbered by their bullying presence.
