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.

WA Stink

The headline writers are really getting into the swing of things now - and this all helps to grab the attention of people who are time-poor or have short attention spans.

The Perth Voice picked up on my description of Barnett's City of Perth Act as a 'Bjelke Peterson Queensland-style gerrymander'.
The Post harks back to a specifically-WA time of infamy, known as WA Inc, with the term 'WA Stink'. There certainly is a stink about this whole local government so-called reform process - and it doesn't only come from what Tony Simpson described as his 'shit sandwich'.
