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.

Don't Quite Know What To Make Of This

The Department of Local Government and Communities has changed the pictures at the top of its weekly 'Local Government Reform Update'. The lefthand and centre pictures are now from the City of Vincent.

Does this mean that the Department (and, by extension, its Minister) consider that Vincent has done such a good job that our achievements should be highlighted? If so, why are they so keen to get rid of the City of Vincent?

More likely, someone just thought these looked 'good' pictures, without having a clue where they were taken - but that doesn't change the fact that they did think them worth featuring. I just hope that no-one takes it to mean that Vincent supports the so-called reform process.
The picture on the right is several years old, taken when the BHP Billiton building was under construction and before work started on destroying the Esplanade for Elizabeth Quay. A picture taken today would show a blank spot and heaps of sand behind the cyclist.
