Hello Everyone

Send emails to Liberal MP Hon. Norman Moore (MLC)

Hes the **** that proposed the new ammendment. He is clearly trying to destroy the bill using cleaver political tactics.

Thanks to him we have atleast another week to wait before its decided, if lots of people email him, saying how they support daylight savings and beleive the 3 year trial is required to in order for people to make an educated discission as to whether or not they want daylight savings. They hopefully we can convince him to stop this foolishness.

WA parliament votes for daylight saving

Australians will have daylight saving in two weeks' time after a bill to introduce the controversial regime passed through the state's upper house.

Daylight saving seemed a dead issue in WA until last month, with state politicians avoiding it after West Australians rejected the regime in three referendums over the past 31 years.

But it will come into effect on December 3 following a whirlwind passage of a new bill through parliament.

The bill was drafted after independent MP John D'Orazio proposed a new piece of legislation to bring in daylight saving.

Liberal MP Matt Birney then proposed a similar one and Labor worked with both men to develop the final bill.

The state's lower house passed this final bill last month after both major parties agreed to allow a free vote on the matter.

But its passage was briefly delayed in the upper house when opposition MPs called for the legislation to go before a parliamentary committee ahead of any vote.

However the legislative council finished debating the issue last week with most members saying they were in favour of daylight saving.

The upper house passed the bill by 21 votes to 10.

Once WA gets daylight saving only Queensland and the Northern Territory will be without it.

and to blow up rotto, so we get swell in perth during summer... or just make swell, either or
