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.

The Perils of Politics on the Run

In a transparent attempt to sideline the City of Vincent's 'one-in, all-in' campaign, Col Pot and Homer Simpson have submitted a new proposal to the Local Government Advisory board which, they claim, takes in 'the entire City of Vincent'. In fact the map makes it clear that it doesn't - residents of the Banks Precinct are excluded (I'll deal with that separately).

They also ignore the fact that the majority of those who supported the 'one-in all-in' approach at the recent plebiscite also said that that they would prefer that the City of Vincent not be abolished in the first place.

So don't think you've neutralised Vincent, Mr Premier. If anything, your transparent treatment of us as a political plaything will galvanise many of us to even greater efforts to stop you from subverting the democratic process.
