OK, I'll pose the question to you southerners who are doing the mocking here.
Why do you want daylight savings if not to give you more daylight in the afternoon?
"No, I think the days are spread out evenly throughout the year anyway. They're reasonably close." - a perfectly logical and rational statement, what's wrong with it?
-
It's not just northerners that can't see the light for the day, westerners are just as simple!
Having spent half my life with, and half without daylight saving, I'm still an advocate for it. What's the point of it getting light at 4:00 am in Brisbane?
When I was a kid and living with DST in Melbourne, our curtains didn't fade, the cows still gave milk, we had the same number of hours of daylight. AND, when mum put us to bed at 7:30, still daylight, we went to sleep because she'd brook no buggering about by any of the four of us. My mum was 5', her kids range from 6'4" to 5'10", so if she could control her kids I can't aw why other parents can't.
-
Living in Wollongong for 35 years with daylight saving and now living in Cairns for the last 16 years, it does not worry me.
You adapt. Get up early for a walk before work, come home and still plenty of daylight to do things.
So what do most southerners do for the extra hours.

Daylight savings would be great in Qld, if it was in winter when the daylight hours are shorter, and it would actually be handy having some sunshine when you get home from work, but in summer, there are already enough daylight hours in the afternoon......
And according to the results of the last referendum (ie- the entire voting population of QLD had their say AFTER TRIALING IT), it wasn't wanted in the sunshine state.
But I can understand why it would be desirable in the darker states ;D

Maybe kids are just smarter these days, as they realise that daylight savings is a stupid idea.

Spot on, Get up early and make the most of the day, I have plenty of friends who sleep in and lose the best few hours of each day.

I cant understand why you wouldn't want it!!!
Day light saving is simple, if you want it just go to work an hour earlier.
This doesn't work if you work in a service orientated industry like the banking sector where you have to be at work during certain hours of the day.
So what do most southerners do for the extra hours.

I like to go kitesurfing of an afternoon, and to do this I need the afternoon sea breeze. I cant do this in the morning. I can leave work at 1700 and know that the breeze is going to stick around until 1930 or so. Or just being able to go to the beach to have dinner with the family and have a swim, oh hang on you cant do that in cairns cause you will either get stung or eaten by a croc!!!!
I notice today that sunset in cairns is at about 1830, with DLS it would be 1930 - sounds ok to me! I suspect that on Dec 22 or 23 this might blow out to about 2015, but the twilight that far north is very short so it would then get dark very quickly.
When I lived in Tassie, the twilight lasted until 2200 which meant we could water ski until 2130.
What's the point of it getting light at 4:00 am in Brisbane?
None - would be my guess.
OK, I'll pose the question to you southerners who are doing the mocking here.
Why do you want daylight savings if not to give you more daylight in the afternoon?
That's exactly why I want it - for the reasons I have mentioned above. There things I like to do outdoors / at the beach of an afternoon / evening during summer.
My question is why do you not want the daylight ours to be at more useful time of the day, and why is DLS a stupid idea as you put it?
I do however agree that in western Queensland, if they operate on the same time zone as the east coast that DLS would be a PITA, but then maybe they should move to central time ie the same as Adelaide and Darwin, just as Broken Hill in NSW as done.
-

The closer you get to the equator the less seasonal variation you get between winter and summer, so the length of a day changes less in the north than it does in the south. If you move the clock back in summer to give you more recreation time in the afternoon it really doesn't make much difference to those in the north as the length of the days barely change anyway. You also have to consider the fact that close to the equator, it gets damn hot, so the only time of the day you really want to be active is in late afternoon anyway, so by moving the clock back you are giving yourself an hour that you aren't really going to use outdoors, so again it begs the question what is the point?
However, if you move the clock back in winter, it makes sense as you are compensating for the shorter day and giving yourself more time to do things in the afternoon. But obviously that doesn't make sense to those in the south as they have quite short days during winter.
What REALLY gets on my nerve is the pompous ignorance and arrogance of the daylight saving advocates that see QLD and WA as 'backwards' and 'not with the times' as they do not have it. Both QLD and WA have trialled daylight savings in the past and have elected to not have it. A reasonable person with a greater than room temperature IQ would conclude that the reason why it was rejected is that people found it did not suit their lifestyle. This concept seems to be incomprehensible to some hence the bigoted rhetoric about 'fading curtains' and 'milking cows' to try and justify their somewhat xenophobic belief.
I do understand that it is total PITA to those in the eastern states who otherwise would be on a common timezone and especially those who have to interact between QLD and NSW during this time. The reality is that Australia is a damn big country and a one-size-fits-all solution may not be suitable in this instance.

IMO daylight saving is too long now. It's good with Canberra twilight in November to January but that's enough.

Not worth discussing. The little baldyheaded fella in charge right now will not listen to logic bad or good. Something to do with motorbike riders and judges............................etc.
As for the previous mob.........they were too busy trying to look good. Either way it would upset my body clock and confuse/delay/expedite my morning bodily functions.

I don't see the problem.
You lot want it. You got it.
We don't want it. We don't got it.
You care.
We don't.
We win State of Origin every year.
You don't.
Obviously a positive correlation there.
And the reason why xxxx and Bundy Rum taste sweeter up here.
(and we have brighter coloured curtains.)

Geez I thought we didn't have it cos it's too hard to turn the sun dial back an hour

I think you'll find Symon, it's because they appear to be referring to the actual daylight changing when in actual fact the daylight remains the same regardless. It's the clocks that would be changing. Although i don't have a particular opinion on it either way, we did try it a while back and it was'nt all that popular and did'nt suit the majority. I think the old saying of "if it ain't broke then don't fix it" comes to mind here. 8)

To cap this daylight saving debate off why don’t we also have one time ZONE as well?

I agree, and that's my point - states have daylight savings to 'give' them an extra hour of sunlight in the afternoon to do things. The people highlighted are pointing out the fact that moving the clock doesn't make any sense as at Yorkeys Knob there is already enough daylight in the afternoon to do things, so moving the clock back to 'give' an extra hour doesn't have any real advantages.
The fourth person is merely pointing out the fact that there isn't much seasonal variation in the length of the day between winter and summer, so again there isn't much advantage to be gained from daylight savings.
Since the pointing out undeniable facts makes them 'dim' or the subject of ridicule I again question the motivations of those making the accusations.
To cap this daylight saving debate off why don’t we also have one time ZONE as well?
Now that's a debate worth having. The entire country could be on one timezone. The eastern states move their clocks back an hour, the central ones back half an hour, and WA forward an hour. No daylight savings, everyone is on the same time for the entire year.
Wouldn't that cause some arguments.

And of course the main reason why there is no daylight saving in Queensland is all the city blokes will have p*$# horns on the bus on the way to work!

Interestingly China is on one time zone (Beijing time) and it is bigger than Australia
You get some strange daylight hours out west
-
To follow up Symon, look at the difference between Darwin & Hobart (source weatherspark.com)
Darwin
The length of the day does not vary substantially over the course of the year, staying within 51 minutes of 12 hours throughout. The shortest day is June 20 with 11:24 hours of daylight; the longest day is December 21 with 12:51 hours of daylight.
Hobart
The length of the day varies significantly over the course of the year. The shortest day is June 20 with9:00 hours of daylight; the longest day is December 21 with 15:20 hours of daylight.
-
As the comments in the Cairns Post state, we simply have enough daylight. The people whom made these comments are simply referring to the amount of daylight we have before we go to work and after we come home from work. Obviously the whole sentence that they spoke has been trimmed down fir comment in the paper. Now it is getting taken out of context to try and make us look stupid.
I understand why the southern states want it but we don't need it or want it here. Southern people move up here and want to change things similar to Victoria or NSW. If you miss it that much, just move back.
The Southern States interfere by changing the timezone why should we follow. They call this the sunshine state for a reason.
-
I can remember eating dinner at 8:00pm with the sun shining and 30+ degrees. Gee that was fun. NOT'
Might suit down south, but I too am amazed that the advocates for daylight saving think that becasue it suits them it should suit everyone.
As for doing business, well maybe the whole planet should be on the same timezone. ???

Is this the reason they want to make Nth Queensland a separate state?

A lot of comment around this in QLD refers to the extra daylight in the EVENING and people's kids won't go to sleep. No-one ever says anything about when here in SEQ the sun is up at 0415 in the middle of summer and nothing is ever said about their kids won't stay asleep. Like in most arguments, the case is put forward to suit the personal opinion.
Cairns and Townsville are a lot further west longitudinally than people realise and when considered along with the lower latitude this fits with FNQ'ers far less than us SEQ'ers.
Broken Hill works on Adelaide time and it's in NSW so REGIONALISED (as opposed to daft state line-wise) daylight saving makes far more sense.
Ultimately, it's what suits the individual - FNQ'ers dont' gain much from it, so fair call for them.
Try working virtually beachside on the NSW/QLD border and you'll soon see that 660,000 GC'ers and 70,000 Tweed Shire'ers are impacted in some form or another, especially in business.
It's the state line descriptor for daylight savings that fails every time.

Totally agree.. My wife and I moved up from NSW into QLD about 7 years ago, the first year we were here it was all about daylight savings and the government should change it to be like the southern states but 6years down the track there is no way we won't it here.. :cheers:
We'll never move back so sorry QLD your stuck with us.. Lol

If that is the case, instead of changing the lifestyle of 20 million or so people, how about the 70,000 or so in the Tweed Shire just adopt QLD time during daylight saving, the same way as Broken Hill has done with SA time.
OH NO, WE CAN'T DO THAT, QUEENSLANDERS ARE BACKWARDS REDNECK IGNORANT TWATS WHO LIVE IN CURTAIN FADED HOUSES WHO CAN'T DISCIPLINE THEIR KIDS AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO TEACH THEIR COWS WHEN TO MILK. WE IN THE SOUTH ARE SOOOO MUCH SMARTER THAN THEM, HOW DARE THEY SAY WHAT WE DO DOESN'T SUIT THEM, HOW STUPID ARE THAT LOT - IT WORKS HERE, IT MUST WORK FOR THEM, THEY ARE JUST TOO STUPID TO REALISE IT.

Yep, it amazes me that people speak about Qld like the start of this thread yet how many southerners move up here! If Qld is so bad, stop coming!!!! ;) I recall when we had daylight savings and I loved it then, but now I don’t really care. There are more important things to solve. First should be how we can get back on the road travelling again.... ;D. Kevin

Oh, I remember that from my time in Brissie. Neighbours kids are up just after 4am, so I have no choice but to be up then as well. Shower, brekky, futz around, still get into work before the legal start time of 7am. Then get in strife cause I want to leave at 3pm, but there are meetings scheduled with the southerners till 5pm. Then when I get back home, cook and eat, feel like siting outside with a wine, but it's already dark!
I so wanted daylight savings when I lived in Brissie.
Can totally understand those from further north not liking it. But for me the lack of it really sucked. If I retire back up there I'll be checking the neighbours don't have bl@@dy kids!
-

The difference is that they don't attack the integrity of those who have a differing opinion, with such labels as 'simple', 'dim', 'backwards', etc do they now?

Yes china being on Beijing time makes it tough in the west in the mountains. Bloody dark and cold at 9 in the morning. Imperial arrogance at its worst.

I'm against DLS in any form. Where I live doesn't really matter but Symon makes very valid observations which make perfect sense to me.
To those who have DLS: If my average day is 16 hours (allowing for 8 sleeping hours), and I now have to get up one hour earlier and go to sleep 1 hour earlier ... does my day still remain 16 hours? Of course it does ... But now I'm suffering from shift workers syndrome ... I'm grumpy and jealous of anyone that doesn't have to do the same as my body clock is now out of whack.
Kit_e
P.s. I don't have curtains ... I have block out blinds ... The heat from the sun in early morning summer gives no chance of a sleep in anyway.
P.p.s. We just had a record 'hot' October ... Maybe Chris Hall does have something in that article ... Or maybe he just knows how to take the piss ...
-
A chill pill is required, me thinks
I just think that it is great how a proud Queenslander [Bushrat] is able to laugh at things said by his fellow Qlders! NS Welshmen had the same silly comments when DLS was introduced many years ago!

To those who say "go to work an hour earlier" that is impossible for a large number of people due to their workplaces having standard hours, not to mention issues with school hours, public transport timetables and shops or other support services having set opening times.
Even without daylight saving Qld has a lot less evening sunlight in summer than the southern states.
Everywhere on earth has the same total hours of sunlight across a year (avg 12 hrs per day).
I think Qld could be moved forward 1 hour for the entire year. It would mean slightly late sunrises in winter, especially in the north/west, but nothing ridiculous.
It'll keep coming up for debate every year.
-
I start work at 5am, and finish at 1pm. allready plenty of sunshine left when I get home each day. I dont want all you other bastards out and about any earlier, otherwise I might miss out on the best camping spots ;D

From what I have read hear and from speaking to a number of current / ex-pat Qldrs, it seems that the levels of opposition are greater in western and northern Queensland. At the same time, it is the south east corner, especially those ares closest to NSW, with the higher levels of support, as well as being closest to / having greatest interaction with NSW.
ON that basis the 'Broken Hill solution' would seem a logical thing to trial - DLS, say from Toowomba to the coast and from the Sunshine Coast south.
-
A lot easier for the Tweed north to the border not to adopt daylight saving.

I'll try that next time I go to work. It'll make an easy day for the Cabin Crew because we'll take off before any of the passengers have checked in. I'm sure they'll understand that their flight departed early for the convenience of the pilot, and so sorry, no more flights until tomorrow!
Then I'll go look for another job. :angel:
Now being more sensible, I have not yet heard a rational reason for not having daylight saving. Curtains don't fade, there is no more daylight, and the temperature change from one hour to the next is greatest in the mornings, not mid afternoon when schools get out.

The only rational reason that is needed is that at the present some of us are up already before 5:00am and your body clock gets used to it and by moving the clocks forward then in reality it is 4:00am which for a fair period of time usually results in not getting the same amount of sleep which in turn can lead to health issues or potentially falling asleep earlier anyway loosing any advantage. Once you get used to it then it is basically time to change back again creating the same issues in reverse.
The only argument that I have heard for it is that it is done in other states so must be good. ??? We are essentially creatures of habit and routine and I haven't heard any decent reason why we should change. Someone also said that it appears to be most strongly around Nth and West Qld. Don't kid yourselves that just because people don't comment on a forum doesn't mean that we agree with you. I would hazard a guess that it is the people who get up early that are against it moreso than the 8:00 - 9:00am starters :D

The "Broken Hill Solution" would just move the problem from the Qld-NSW border north. You're always going to have some poor buggers affected.
To all the naysayers about Qld, the closer to the equator, the less change in daylight hours over the year, so you time poor southerners with your fanciful notions of DST benefits can have it but why Tassie has it has got me stuffed......sunset at 8:00 o'clock & twilight for hours more!!
Forget it!

This maybe true, but it doesn't change the fact that it is one more hour it takes for the house to cool down to a bearable temperature after coming home from work ( not every one has the luxury of a fully air-conditioned home).
And I'm not too sure about the curtains fading as they would be closed a lot more 8)
It probably doesn't worry me as much as when we first tried it ( early 70's I think ?? ). I seem to remember studying after dinner with full sunlight streaming in the window.
And it probably won't worry me in a year or two when I don't have to go to work, I'll do things to my time and not the clock.

I will give a rational reason,
Why try to fix something that isn't broken.
The locals don't want it. It is the southerners who move up here that want it. If they miss NSW that much they can move back there. Just because NSW have it doesn't mean it would suite us.

You call that being sensible?
There has been plenty of rational reasons given in this thread already if you take your blinkers off.

Hey Guys and Gals, i have just come up with a solution to this problem. For those that want daylight saving because it gives them an extra hours playtime at the end of the day, just knock off work an hour earlier and you've got it.
For everyone else, "as you were"
That's OK, No need to thank me.. ;D ;D ;D

Its good to get down the beach early especially on a work day...........swim breakfast and go...the day feels much better for it.
I know these are personal reasons but they are mine and a big part of my families life.
If you are to lazy or whatever to do something before work it's your problem, not Queensland's.............maybe the cockroaches could do some extra training session and try and win an origin series

I'm not sure which is a more interesting forum, this one or the one on whirlpool about the nbn.
If anybody needs some plans to a bridge, pm me & i'll forward on

Is this the reason they want to make Nth Queensland a separate state?
Clive will step up & be premier

Doesn't it make the carpets fade >:D
The extra daylight makes everything fade quicker.

I'll try that next time I go to work. It'll make an easy day for the Cabin Crew because we'll take off before any of the passengers have checked in. I'm sure they'll understand that their flight departed early for the convenience of the pilot, and so sorry, no more flights until tomorrow!
Then I'll go look for another job. :angel:
Now being more sensible, I have not yet heard a rational reason for not having daylight saving. Curtains don't fade, there is no more daylight, and the temperature change from one hour to the next is greatest in the mornings, not mid afternoon when schools get out. Poor little kiddies, never dun us no harm when I wuz yung.
I couldn't understand why it would bother you in your situation at all. As wouldn't your hours be all over the place anyway? Or do all flights leave at 9:00am and land at 5:00pm?
I don't see any rational reason we need it in Qld.
There is still the same amount of daylight hours in the day. Get up early and enjoy the best part of the day doing what you want!
It's a no vote for me!
But I am self employed and I only work the hours I want anyway.

Flew into Brisbane Saturday afternoon - was really bumpy as we went over the boarder where the time zone changes. It was like going back in time!
