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.

The Prize for Weasel Word of the Week

The report card on Colin Barnett's election promises is not looking very good.

That's even without considering the broken promise NOT to do something - the promise NOT to force amalgamations of local governments!

It seems Col has also found another weasel word - one he seems to have discovered in the process of trying to force local government amalgamations - adjustments.

Now, just as local governments are not amalgamated but 'adjusted', so promises are not broken but 'adjusted'.

The prize for weasel word of the week goes to … drum roll … Colin Barnett.

 Sorry Folks! It has been pointed out to me that it was in the list in the printed West Australian - see below. But that doesn't change the validity of the weasel word award for Col Pot.
