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.

This Premier Has Got to Go - And The Sooner The Better

Not content with bending the Local Government Act out of all recognition to try to achieve the result he wants, Colin Barnett is now proposing to ignore the law completely (http://ianrker-vincent.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/wtf.html).

The legal action to be heard in the Supreme Court on 25th November is, as much as anything, about making sure that the lawmakers abide by the laws they make.

Barnett is claiming that the Government can do what it likes - never mind what the law (which he voted for in 1995) says.

Barnett has boasted that he will put in place an outrageous gerrymander for the City of Perth/Vincent, in direct contravention of all electoral laws, conventions and democratic principles.

Barnett has lost this state its AAA credit rating through his grandiose schemes.

Barnett is out of control and is dangerous. He has to be got rid of - and we can't afford to wait until 2017.

My message to all Liberals with even a modicum of concern for the future of Western Australia and its democracy is "Don't let Barnett bully you any longer".
