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.

Definition of Optimism - Busselton

The West Australian, 27th September 2014
I can't help but admire the optimism of the City of Busselton.

Whilst there is no doubt that even the spectre of local government amalgamations (forced or otherwise, depending on your point of view) is stressful for local government employees, if they do actually go ahead in the metropolitan area there is little doubt that country WA will be next in line.

So, if you're in a metro local government and stressed out by 'amalgamations', you might just be jumping from the frying pan into the fire, unless we can stop the whole shambolic process in its tracks.
