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.

Abbot Even Worse Than Barnett!

Col Pot's arrogance and disdain on Council loan guarantee fees (http://ianrker-vincent.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/in-defeat-malice.html), is of a kind with Abbott's reported attempt to bulldoze stripping of citizenship at the sole discretion (whim?) of one Minister (Peter Dutton) through his Cabinet without it's even being on the Cabinet agenda, let alone there having being any discussion with more than a small coterie of favoured Ministers - which didn't include Julie Bishop who is the deputy leader of the Liberal Party, the Foreign Affairs Minister, the minister with oversight of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, a member of the National Security Committee of cabinet and a central figure in Australia's effort to defeat the terrorists of the so-called Islamic State.

 Even George Brandis, Barnaby Joyce and Christopher Pyne, none of them renowned for their intelligence or social conscience, could see problems with the proposal - what does that say about Abbott, Dutton and Morrison?
