We (WA) did away with it here several years ago, it didn't really bother me either way though I saw no need for daylight saving.If people want more daylight hours they can always get up earlier
👍👍
It doesn't really affect me either way now I am retired.I guess I could NOT go to work an hour earlier each day and then NOT have to come home an hour earlier?

If you look at the eastern (beginning) edge of each time zone on a map, you'll see that on the east coast, Central and North Qld and western NSW are way west of where each zone starts. Which means they pretty much have automatic daylight saving. It's the same in your area Craig. Pert is at the western edge of the WA time zone so it would defeat it's purpose.A significant proportion of our modern workforce has the ability to vary its start and finish times so if they want more daylight at the end of the day to spend with family, they can just start earlier. And modern business with web technology also knows no timetable.I honestly think it's outlived its usefulness.
this is probably reason why tassie have had daylight saving longer than the rest of Australia. and why curtains fade more in tassie than Queensland. ( more sunlight in summer time )
