I would say that they are leaving NSW to get out of Sydney for better job opportunities and living situations.

But people are going out into the sun more.

The hours of sunlight don't change, but people's behaviour does - they get out of the house and into the sunlight when they wouldn't normally.

That increases the risk of skin cancer.

Shouldn't affect the latest generations - they're indoors on the couch/in the bedroom, on their phones, ipads, playstations, Nintendo Wiis etc.


And DLS doesn't help because it has school children & workers outside in the hottest times of the day (school will be coming out a 2pm EST.)

that is if they are actually using it for the intended purpose & taking advantage of that so called "extra" hour of daylight for outside activities as they say they want .. it for/to do.

Phukked if they should be putting clocks ahead an hour so Office Johnnies can play golf.

If you can't play 9 holes in an hour & a half after 5 pm you're not trying.

The Business Council of Australia?

Politicians?

re: highlight - May have been acceptable for you Cockroaches & Mexicans but it has never been acceptable in QLD.

It was trialed twice & voted down twice.

It raises it's head every year because of the vast population increase in the self-centred SE corner & that's driven by all the interstate migrants(Cockies & Mexicans) who move here for the lifestyle .... then want to change everything to be like what it was back home.



Want DLS? Shift back to a DLS state.

I don't know the reason for the change. I have not had to experience DLS for about 32 years. Maybe it is still warm enough to go swimming after work in April.

As I've said several times in the past... the term "Daylight Saving" should never have been used.

It should have been called by it's proper name: SUMMER TIME.

That way it might have caused a lot less confusion amongst our mostly stupid population and we may have seen a lot less idiocy like:

It makes the curtains fade.
It makes the paint on your house fade/peel.
The cows won't give milk (I've never seen a cow wearing a wristwatch).
Plus a few more that I can't recall right now.

And my all time favourite:

But we have to stay up until 2am to change all the clocks (at the start of SUMMER TIME, 3am when the clocks are changed back at the end of SUMMER TIME).

So the only thing people have going for them to justify how great DLS is, is the extra 'time' of daylight in the 'evening' (for its really after the afternoon).

...because they can't be bothered to get up early at the right time and enjoy the sunshine then as well. Lazy bums.

So it strips the Morning People extra daylight, in favour of the Evening People beyond throwing everyone's 'body-clocks' that adapt to the natural occurrence of light and in accordance to the 'seasonal' change of daylight... out of whack.
I feel much better and back in alignment now. When there is just one timing to the natural light timing - sometimes, it gets to the point when I don't need a clock to tell me what time it is. I am in tune with nature and nature's time.
DLS is a gimmick to disrupt that timing and for what? So evening people can have a bit more daylight on their clocks? It's absurd, pointless, unhealthy and just another example of making a simple thing more complicated than it needs to be, just to appear more sophisticated than it really is. 

Curse: May all DLS supporters have their vehicle Timing Belts go out of whack!

I woke up this morning to the second time this year that the minimums were below 20°C. Two mornings in a row, and a definite need for me to start using the doona. I still have my ceiling fan whirring away at near full speed -- it only had two speeds (fast and stop). But it will be May by the time I stop using the ceiling fan. And it will be mid-May before I close the bedroom window.

I usually have an earlier bedtime during the winter months. I get out of bed later and go to bed later during the summer months. I seem to be able to sleep through the mornings of summer. Perhaps that is the reason why some like daylight saving. They go to bed at midnight (which is then really 11pm) and get up at 8am (which is then really 7am) so that they don't miss out on an hour of daylight.
