You really are a southerner. Perhaps you live at such a latitude south of the equator that the angle of the sun's rays don't allow you to be burned. Obviously, you don't know what you are talking about and are just replying to get the last word.

I happen to have had 12 years of riding my bike or walking to school nearly every day of the school year. It was either a 10-minute bike ride or a 30-minute walk. Ten minutes did not mean a great deal of getting tanned. But a February to April, or September to November period could see people walking home being somewhat sunburned by the time they reached home. Even during those periods of the year, it was not so bad walking to school in the morning.

Obviously, you have not worked in the restaurant industry. I have. Sit outside Sizzlers, McDonalds, all the fast food restaurants, and even the fancy restaurants. Every year, those managers and supervisors of the restaurants would have their workers come in an hour earlier or later, depending on the time of year. When I first started working at a certain store, my hours were usually averaged 6pm start times for the summer. Winter start times averaged at 5pm. Happens all over the place. People don't usually start dinner until sundown. And an extra hour of sunlight just delays meal times, even if you are home from work at 4pm.
If I had to work during daylight savings with my job, I'm sure that my hours would have been cut due to lack of customers for 2 hours of the day during summer months. I recall having to stay back an hour, but only for the doldrums of work hours that did not get much done other than an hour of cleaning.

But that is very much the issue. DLS advocates throwing temper tantrums because the rest of the state does not want to entertain their stupid wishes. The solution is just for businesses that want DLS to just open and close early by an hour, so that they can go to the beach and smoke pot, or whatever privileged metropolitan residents do.

what a load of rubbish. Pretending you have some idea only because you live further north is a sure sign of stupidity.
If the sun is that hot you'll burn after 10 mins at 2pm, then 99 percent of the time, you'll still burn after 10 mins at 3pm. If you were in Melbourne one might have a point, where the weather will often drop up to 20 degrees in an hour, but up here the weather is very constant. Unless a storm is rolling in, there is very little movement during the middle of the afternoon.

You're just grasping at straws.

There is your problem cretin, you don't know the difference between temperature and the UV index. Hint not the same

You have behaving like a fkken retard all this time based on your total ignorance of this very important information.


Fkken filthy cockroaches 

DLS is all but finished and the southerners are still whinging that some states aren't 'doing what their told'.

See you all again next years when the crying and whining starts all over again.

Demand that we become two separate states and then become the fully fledged southerners you want to be, doing what southerners do, sleep in.

Tasmania was the first of the Australian states to introduce daylight saving 50 years ago, and that too was borne from a time of crisis.
It was introduced in the summer of 1967, when the state was gripped by drought, to save power, which, in turn, saved water.
It has, however, been a tough argument to win against Australia’s all-important agricultural sector.
So vehement is the opposition from northern Queenslanders, where the issue arose yet again over the summer, that they have threatened to secede from the south should it be introduced.
Former Premier Anna Bligh outright rejected a serious push to have it introduced in the state late last decade, based purely on the vehement opposition of the residents of the state’s vast regions.
The Katter’s Australia Party MPs, patriarch Bob Katter at the federal level and his son Rob Katter at state level, have both been outspoken opponents.
Even further south, Whitsundays MP Jason Costigan encapsulated the fiery resistance of many a regional Queenslander in January when he told APN media it would be introduced “over my dead body” and claimed a social media poll showed 90 per cent of his constituents opposed it.
“I think it’s reasonable to assume it would force my hand, it is something you die in the trenches for,” he said.

“If there is one issue to push people over the edge and embrace statehood in the north it would be this issue — over my dead body will we see daylight savings in the north.”
At the same time, a poll undertaken by the Courier-Mail showed nearly 90 per cent of people in the state’s south east are in favour.
What is a state to do?
