Niga Pls. They should get up an hour earlier, Not the entire state. -The only things i have heard people say is that omg 1 hour more sun after work. Ok fair enough, BUT that is all i have heard. I mean comon. The sun fucking set just after 9. I have tea at 7/7:30, Im not in the mood to goto the beach after that. People who work in the sun all day, (IE brikies) Would they want to stay out for that extra time and goto the beach of would they rather go home to their nice cold air con'd house?? -The sun sets at 8 in summer anyway. Most people get off work at around about 5, So thats 3 hours to do what you want. Also kids are sposed to goto bed at 7, Arnt they. They dont understand why they have to goto bed so early and its daylight out side. -How is this going to save energy? If people are driving around more after work going places its going to use more energy correct? Also people who go home and find out how HOT it is, Turn the Air con on, Turn on the TV. Please, If anyone who wants daylight savings to stay, Please say somthing more than 1 extra hour to goto the beach once a month. I have about 1000 more responses. -I woke up feeling like shit. -Trading with ASIA (Was the same time zone as us) is now harder as we are out of line them. -Daylight savings was for farmers?

Everyone will go home and power up their home aircons for an hour longer.As pointed out, we already have tons of daylight in Perth in summer, (too much if you ask me).WA does a lot of business with Asia and South Africa, it will put us more out of synch with them, stuff the eastern states :)Lastly, we have had a referendum on average every 10 years on this subject, how many times do we have to say no???

Most arguments against it are unfounded. Lots of people complain that they have to get up an hour earlier and so on. If the same person had to move to Sidney or New York would they still live by the clock in Perth? The reality is that they would adjust and get used to it and wouldn't notice the change after a few days. Also after a three year trial they might even see its benifits and vote in a referendun in an unbiased way for or against It’s really a non issue. Most arguments against it are unfounded.

In Melbourne you would start work at 20:00 (in summer) while in Amsterdam you would start work at 1:00. Then there would be no confusion when arranging meetings and tele-conferences with people in other countries. I think it would be best to abolish time zones and use UTC for the entire world.

I support both sides of the argument and can see the pros and cons of your side of the argument. all the best I have lived with day light savings most of my life.
