    @Redwing - the DST effect/benefit is greatly reduced the closer you are to the equator. Do you hear the Tasmanian or Victorian residents complaining that on 22/12 there sun doesn’t set until 11pm or shine at 4am? Would they rather 10pm and 3am?

    The cows still fade and the cutains still produce milk regardless of what time mankind says it is.

    For the 27 people at Mitchell Plateau or on Hooverellnoes Station in FNQ and the 50000 buffalo it makes very little difference. Whereas in the sunshine coast/Tropic of Capricorn they can rise at 7am DST and still feel the cool of the previous evening rather than having to turn on the ac at 7am. Imagine that, DST is a green initiative not a medieval torture.

    Maybe we need a north/south divide rather than east/west.

    WA is relying on the Wheatbelt now for cashola now that mining has slowed, so the cockies have the final say and i dare say they won't want angry wives with faded curtains

    Maybe WA should just meet half way and adjust the clocks half hour permanently rather dst

    I didn't picture you as a middle man ;)

    If the wife's curtains are fading, it's time to get to the hairdresser. (I thought it was more fashionable to have bare floors).

    @Redwing - anything below the line doesn’t matter
