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.

Breaking News: A Dog's Breakfast

The decisions on the LGAB recommendations are a total dog's breakfast.

Three amalgamations get a vote - but other straight mergers (eg Subiaco/Cambridge; Belmont/Kalamunda) are described as 'boundary changes' so no vote. Total inconsistency.

Simpson has given guarantee of no vote weighting in City of Perth/City of Vincent legislation. Wonder if he has checked this Barnett? If so, this is a huge backdown given Barnett's statement last week that "you wouldn't want residents to control the cbd".

According to the ABC, Barnett has said he will not move on the regions in this term of government. This sounds very like his pre-2013 election commitment of "no forced amalgamations" so if I were the Nationals I'd be even more worried than ever.
