As far as Tweed MP Geoff Provest and the Nationals’ support for winding back daylight saving, what a load of crock!
Anyone with an ounce of intelligence can discern the difference of EST in comparison to EDST.
If not, do the following:
1. Have two clocks, one for Qld and the other for NSW;
2. Have one clock and set it on the predominant time that has the greatest influence in your life; and
3. Go and live in the locality that has the least effect on your life.
Surely us New South Welshman who enjoy our daylight saving and have family ties with our state and other sectors that have a compatible time zone do not want the Nats to interfere in our way of life.
If the Nats feel so strongly about changes to the EDST, go to the Nats in Qld and ask them to make the changes to their state EST to align with NSW.
Personally, I think it’s great that we have an hour difference on the border. Some of these are:
* Late restaurant timings in Qld;
* Late business transactions & shopping in Qld;
* Tradies can offset their trade times to be either early start in N.S.W. or late finish in Qld;
* TV stations can be desirable, however if you live in the Lismore area, programming will be an hour late [have you thought about that Geoff?]; and
* The day starts early which is comparable with nature and EDST, yet we have a greater leisure time in the evening.
Sorry Nats, no to your idea as we are New South Welshman firstly, not Queenslanders and we do not compromise to what the Gold Coast would like to occur.
See if you believed in the modelling of global warming, you would appreciate that summer is going to be a lot longer in the extreme… not shorter.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
