Hi Rod & everyone, Sorry to say this, but using that logic where time difference with the Eastern States means lots of money lost, why not advance our clocks to the Eastern States Standard time? That way your clients will never loose valuable time .. and the almighty $$$. And why not do it in

Re: Re: Daylight Saving OT

I tried not to join in, but why not! I don't want it. When I worked with horses, a long time ago, the daylight in the morning was far more useful than at night. When you're up at 4-5am you don't want it any darker. I expect it's the same for a lot of people that don't work standard 9-5 jobs. No

sigh, if only we could motivate the middle classes to care and be as vocal about real issues like rural health and education and pollution as they are over daylight saving then we would truly be the envy of nations the world over -- ~ Mark Secker Computer Support Officer ph# 61-8-6488 1855 (

Couldn't resist another 2c worth. Our democratic system certainly doesn't work by us voting on every regulation/policy that concerns us - we elect politicians who we hope have the best vision to govern our society and set appropriate policies, etc (shame about the choice we have to vote for someti

Re: Daylight Saving OT

Hi Everyone, Well, we live in a democracy and we are free to like it or not. What some have been questioning though is the fact that the WA parliament voted to introduce daylight savings although the majority voted against it. Maybe next they'll vote to introduce a 3-year trial of no alcohol in th

Couldn't resist my two bits :) Some of us have never had the chance to vote on this, this will be the first time we can, and I'll be voting yes. I don't see what all the fuss is about, daylight savings works over east and in countries a over the world. I was indifferent towards it until I li

Re: Daylight Saving OT

I have no particular objection to Daylight Saving. But I imagine that those living in the northern tropics would find it completely pointless and insane. Michael Ph: 61 (0)8 9498 0952 Mob: 0406 760 696 Skype: Mikanta http://www.kanetaylor.id.au

Re: Daylight Saving OT

OK there is always going to be different opinions and that's fine. I suppose I have lived more than half my life with day light saving and I like it. So of course I am as biased as everyone is. The way it was done was not good but it is now done. Bear in mind I work at the West and this means

Re: Daylight Saving OT

Wow its so nice to get some sane comments, really just try it and if you don't like it then you will have a chance to vote. If I am not mistaken we already did vote last election, and it was a resounding NO. I am not in favour of the later sleeping pattern due to excessive late night heat,

Re: Daylight Saving OT

I'm telling my mate from Osaka to set his time to Osaka time. Even though I hate non daylight saving time (missed another Eastern States phone call today as I get up late in this game) I don't agree that they did what they did. Democracy means people get to vote even if they're wrong (IMHO)

Re: Daylight Saving OT

Hey, Roger, wait a minute. We've voted twice by referendum. The vote was "No". Now our politicians take control and say our vote was unworthy. That is, they don't care about popular choice (Vox populii?). They have negated popular consensus. You suggest we wait and vote on it. That's after

Isn't is amazing the depth of feeling this issue generates! I'm not excluding myself here - I hadn't been is WA long when the last daylight saving trial was introduced and it made an amazing difference to my life - for the better in my case! Reason - I tended to work late anyway and before daylig
