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.

Distrust and Cynicism Will Be Your Real Legacy, Minister

Local Government Minister, Tony Simpson, is surely indulging in wishful thinking when he says that 'local government reform will be his legacy'.

Whether or not he manages to bully his changes through, his legacy will be increased distrust of politicians (and their promises) and, to the detriment of all of us, a future of politicians perverting legal and political processes to suit their ideological agendas.
