VINCENT councillors have voted to slash their IT allowance by $1000, but former councillor Dudley Maier says the $2,500 they will now get is still too high.

LABOR MP John Carey has lambasted Perth city council for sending three burley security guards to watch over a group of seniors protesting against cuts to the Rod Evans Senior Citizens Centre. “This shows just how averse the City of Perth is to bad publicity,” Mr Carey told the greying crowd of 15, who’d obediently…

SENIORS were given just a few days’ notice about the cancellation of fitness, food and social services at the Rod Evans Senior Citizens Centre in East Perth.
