Is this only in WA? What about Queensland? We are still in the dark ages!

IF DAYLIGHT SAVINGS VOTED AGAINST WILL BE DARK DURING SUMMER JUST AFTER 7PM!!!!!
IF YOU LOVE THE WIND VOTE NO TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SAILING AND K++ING

CHEERS

get rid of it, its crap. If its too light in the morning with out DLS, get out of bed an hour earlier, ring the east coast an hour earlier and pretend to go to bed an hour earlier.

Its going to be chucked out, and good riddance

After three referendums - all against it, make the message clear this time.

No means no.

It doesn't work in WA.

It doesn't work here because we are a state of ignorant country hick dumbasses who think cows and chickens have alarms clocks

the pros have to outdo the cons with it. I'm for it as theres nothing better having an extra frothy or two as the sun goes down after work.

What will be will be I guess...it's just disappointing the level of naivety and ignorance that still exist about it all

wow you are keen to wind people up-nothing like a bit of informed and intelligent debate-its no wonder the "pro's" havent been able to get it over the line with such literary gems as this!

The only mention Ive ever heard of the curtains fading/confused cows etc has come from "pro's" also.

I guess your just going to have to learn to live with disapointment-Im sure it isnt the first time in your life!

whose "turbo"?

dls is only for people stuck in the 9-5 syndrome- builders who work 7-3 don't care less about it really. night shift workers don't give a shift either way. i spend my life inspecting underground sewers on contact for the csiro so my longest hours working are done on windless days.
Pick your working hours and dls becomes irrelavent

As noted previously on this subject, there is no significant "daylight" to "save" for people north of the Tropic of Capricorn.

I've yet to see any DS advocates comment on how the so called "benefits" of DS are completely dependent on where you live. Perth people just see DS from the Perth-centric point of view with no regard for the effect on people in Kalgoorlie, Broome, and, most especially Kununnara. The latter location will have no DS effect at all even in the peak of summer, because on average, they recieve less than 1 hour of extra sunlight during the summer. Albany has some 90 minutes more daylight in December than Kununurra even though both have sunrise at the same time.

One solution might be to localise DS to south of a line between Geraldton and Esperance. Then the Perthlings would have their precious DS without affecting parts of the state where it made no sense, and everyone would live happily ever after But that would spoil the game plan of DS pushers wanting to treat everyone in the state of WA as if we all lived in Perth.

Ease up turbo...someones taking it a little personal.

My comment was on the fact that there seems to me there is still a large percentage of people who are basing their decision on the total ridiculous ...such as out of sympathy for the cows and chickens who now have to get up an hour earlier...saying since DLS my milk and eggs haven't tasted the same. The old faded blinds...does anyone remember when Mr D'orazio said he'd replace people blinds himself if they could prove they faded because of DLS? What else is there...my new spray job on my car is ruined because of the 'extra' hour of daylight...

You'd be mistaken for thinking people were taking the piss with these comments...buts it's scary that this level ignorance actually exists...

Ppl are taking the "piss". Its a joke, pooman, and a recurriing theme from the anti-WST mob is to try to seriously refute this comical assertion. What does surprise me is that ppl still offer this appalling rebuttal without a shred of evidence that those views are seriously held by anyone.

Now THAT'S scary.
