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.

The Voice Gets There First

Perth Voice, 10th January 2015 http://www.perthvoice.com/voicew
It has taken two weeks for the first media mention (that I am aware of) of Homer's cynical last-minute pre-Christmas 'gift' (gazetting of Governor's Orders on forced local government 'boundary adjustments' - posted here on the very day it happened (http://ianrker-vincent.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/bah-humbug-homers-christmas-present-to.html).

The Voice acknowledges that it was either 'deeply distracted' or 'on holiday', which is just what Col Pot and Homer were banking on.

It seems to me, though, that the media have been asleep at the wheel - they should have been alert to this possibility and it would hardly take detailed investigative reporting to turn this into a strong story of political cynicism.

Doesn't even need to be that. There is legitimate public interest in the gazettal, which affects the majority of people in the Perth Metropolitan Area.

    They will wiggle and wiggle and every time they (Col/Homer that is) are confronted with some truth, facts and common sense the electrodes in their little brain (whatever is left of it) will make them wiggle even more. They are a sorry lot to say the least. It is sad state of affairs when a community is forced to engage in legal action to try to rain in the idiot they got conned in to elect.
