If it aint broke don't fix it (NO)
Roll on lazy arvo's (YES)
I have always thought daylight saving was a good thing, especially on those balmy summer evenings when you have a few pints under your belt, with a barbie cookin away and the rugrats running around, and you can still enjoy yourself instead of heading inside for the lights...Weeknight barbies can also be enjoyed, and burgs would be happy as more cattle will need to be eaten to cater for barbie bonanza. Only real problem is that the next morning you need to rise earlier than you would like, but the body clock is an amazing thing and you will adapt in no time. Then when it`s over you will be sleeping in an extra hour until your body clock goes back to normal.
All in all, daylight saving rocks...
Seeing as a quite a lot of countries already have DLS, why not just get all countries to move to the next time zone? That way its a permanent DLS all year round.
While I dont see the merits of DLS in WA, particularly up north of our fine state.
In Sydney there is nothing more depressing then going to work when it is dark and coming. Something like DLS really does make a difference.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
One thing that occured to me today is that Sydney and (to a bit lesser extent) Melbourne are on the Eastern end of their time zone where as Perth is right on the Western end of its time zone.
There is even approximately 15 minutes in sunlight between my home and the farms at Eneabba.
It is so extreme in WA that (some may well be suprised to hear) that we actually have a localised time zone on the Nullabor which is half that of Central Standard (South Australia) and Western Standard (WA) because they are so far away. I recall it stretching from Mundrabilla to the Border but may be wrong there, it was a few years ago.
I don't have time down here on this 'pute to debate the pro's and con's but I thought others may like to know the above...

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
as a shift worker body clocks get screwed big time, so now with the day light saving i will be awake an hr longer, thus put my self futher at risk of a fatigue time injury, it is a proven fact it is a lot harder to sleep when it is day light
why does everyone need an extra hour of daylight in the afternoon to enjoy a beer ... do you guys turn into pumpkins or something ???
Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
At ten to one against it you would have to wonder why we need it.

we "need" it because the people who will vote for it are lazy and apathetic!

it's about time they did it. From a business perpesctive, that extra hour we lose in summer by not having it can be a killer.
And for those of us poor bastards who are stuck in an office all day. It is nice to actually enjoy some extra sunlight when I get home.
You know it makes sense.

what I don't understand is why they dont use DLS in winter? wouldn't it be a lot more useful then?
