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.

Day 5. South Perth Halfway There. Kate Emery Gets It Wrong

Kate Emery is being lazy or very slow. The 17.45% return she quotes was as of only the third day (see table below). Even yesterday, when she presumably wrote her piece, it was up to 21.28% and today it's a quite healthy 24.25% after only 5 days.

If she did a bit of analysis (or read this blog) she'd know that three of the polls (actually affecting all three of the amalgamations) are on-track to get the 50% needed for the poll to be binding - and Kwinana is three-quarters of the way there.

After Day 5 (returns received by the Electoral Commission Thursday 22nd January):
- Kwinana has nearly three-quarters of the votes it needs for the poll to be binding. This is an outstanding performance.
- East Fremantle has well over half the votes needed.
- South Perth has half the votes needed.
- Victoria Park and Cockburn have around two-fifths of the votes needed. [Note correction here at 8.10pm Thursday 22nd January - previously said one-fifth - my error.]
