Hang on just a minute , did I miss something
I was under the impression that we were trialing for 3 years this one being the last year but still wasn't a referendum supposed to be held in 2009 to decide whether it should become permanent or not , it's not finalised yet is it????

Anyway your probably right even so as WA are on planet unto there own on subjects such as this and anything that spells advancement, oh well it's been great while it lasted

You do realize that the extra hour of sunlight will make your kite fade ??

And the curtains!!! And the cows will also get confused

Is there still enough time for after work kiting even without daylight savings? iIn perth that is.

This thread is SO funny !

You would think that a smart country like OZ would have daylight saving in every state!!

reminds me of my younger days on the Goldie Coast,when we used to shoot across the border to get another hour's drinking in !

Not to mention New Years !!

Sucks to be you !!! At least I get overtime !!!

Im sorry but i think ill be picking no. I have a good reason, that because i tend to work in the arvo. And with daylight savings, it effectively makes the seabreeze come in an hour later, and therefore means less time to kite before i go to work.
I like the idea of it, but i like getting a kite in before work better.

Daylight saving actually has a positive effect on the economy and community .It was invented in England by a guy that thought that it would be a good way of forcing people to get up early and make the most of morning light and their day .

It does bring WA closer in time to eastern states ,businesses and colleagues.
it also means that there are many businesses such as kite ,surf schools,boot camps ,outddor cafes and so on benefit from people getting out after work and doing things .It helps fight inactivity and obesity savings millions in health costs because people and kids are more likely to get out after work and school rather than sit on their bums watching telly.My buisineses have benefited greatly .my best year for lessons was in 2000 when not only did we have great weather but daylight saving started in August Many lessons and agin the phone runs hot and the register is a ringin.

Hopefully the naysayers will not have their way .if you care about it make sure you vote and tell others about why it is a good thing

It should be 2 hours,in the peak of Summer daylight starts at before 5am
I guess we will all be devastated if the cow and curtain lovers win the referendum
