Daylight Saving: The fight goes on
After the Premier exercised very strange logic indeed in discovering the majority of Queenslanders want Daylight Saving and an overwhelming 70% of South East Queenslanders want it - and using those statistics as a reason not to adopt - the fight for Daylight Saving goes on.
There's now a new petition for a Daylight Saving trial in Queensland, and I encourage all interested persons to sign the petition. You can access the petition at:

Over here in WA, they are trialing daylight saving. Not sure of the general reaction - people in the street seem to be indifferent to it, but in a couple of radio station polls showed a strong negative reaction to it (the one I heard was on either triplej or mixfm).
Travelling here, its both good and bad. You get another hour of travelling time in - good.
On the bad side, everything - and I mean everything - closes at 5:30pm - accomodation (unless it has a 24 hour reception), coles, woolies, cafes, etc. So you have two hours where you can basically ... enjoy the sunset?
