No Taxation Without Equal Representation

Col Pot has said he will introduce a Bill for a City of Perth Act that will include a blatant gerrymander because "you [by which he means himself] wouldn't want residential voters to be able to control the central business district".

The WA Electoral Act insists that the number of electors for each state electoral district should be as near equal as practicably possible.

The Local Government Act requires that "the ratio of councillors to electors" to be considered in the establishment of wards. Any reasonable interpretation of this, especially in view of the 'superior' legislation (the WA Electoral Act) must be that there should be consistency across all wards of a local government - and, indeed, this is the case in metropolitan local governments that have wards.

Why should the electors of the City of Vincent have to put up with anything less.

Revolutions have been held to uphold the principle of equal representation.
