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.

Deja Vu

In an almost exact repeat of the so-called reform process in WA, we have the NSW (also Liberal) Government reneging on a promise not to force local government amalgamations and then going ahead and doing it.

Pity (well, not really) former WALGA president, Troy Pickard, now President of the Australian Local Government Association, walking slap bang into the middle of the same fight in which he so singularly failed to distinguish himself in WA.
