Nothing and no one is in "real time" in Qld. You can save all the daylight you like, but Qld will never catch up.

There's an old joke (in reality, not all that funny) about a plane approaching Perth. The captain announces: "We are about to land in Perth. Pleae ensure that your seat is upright, your seatbelt is fastened and your watches are set back 20 years." (There's more than a grain of truth in this, but it's still a good place to live.) Cheers, Tony

And Granny's comment reminds me of why Queensland has never had daylight saving. It apparently goes back to the days of Joh Bjelke-Petersen's premiership. Joh believed that the Sun shone out of his arse and he wasn't going to get up early for anybody.

Try working shiftwork and then see how much you like daylight savings time. Might be OK for the golfing set but a PITA for shiftwork. So there that's my two bobs worth

For all the daylight we've allegedly saved since the inception of this bizarre concept, the cows still live their lives, and subsequently their farmer's lives by the sun, not the clock. The curtains will fade whether we save daylight or not. If they had daylight saving in WA, and they did on trial for 3 years, the kids up north would be doing to school in the dark, as they start school at 0815hrs or similar, and then they go home in the heat of the day. The only people who are believed to benefit are the city and metro residents who want to go to the beach for an extra hour of sunshine in the evening. To much of the country it's nothing but a nuisance.
