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.

McGowan Challenges Barnett To A Duel

At least I hope that's what Mark McGowan was effectively doing today in Kalamunda.

Grand and statesmanlike though his challenge to Barnett to take local council mergers to an election sounds, it only works if there is clear distinction between the positions of the two major parties.

I am heartened by what Labor has said and done in the past month or so, but we need to keep a careful eye on things to make sure that the Labor policy on local government is a viable and distinctly-different alternative to Barnett's arrogance.
