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.

Stop Prevaricating, Minister

Get real, Homer.

Col has said he's flying the white flag.

WALGA has described the process as "flawed beyond repair".

Three of the Councils affected by Governor's Orders have withdrawn. Two more will certainly do so. That's five of the Orders gone. (http://ianrker-vincent.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/kalamunda-and-cockburn-formally-opt-out.html)

The Canning community wants no part of it.

That's six out of eight gone.

The remaining two (Stirling and Melville) are essentially residuals to tidy up what's left.

As Max Hipkins has said, it's time to remove the uncertainty that has plagued local government in Perth since this process began.

Councils don't need more time to think about whether they want amalgamation on your terms. If they do want amalgamation, it has to be on entirely separate terms - and that can only happen after the Governor's Orders have been rescinded.
