Daylight saving online poll results revealed 64 per cent say there should be a trial of daylight saving in the south-east before a referendum on the issue.

The Queensland Government's online survey about a split time zone for Queensland has shown regional communities are opposed to daylight saving but residents in the south-east want it to go ahead.
The poll had responses from 74,000 people.
Of those, 64 per cent say there should be a trial of daylight saving in the south-east before a referendum on the issue.
Another 63 per cent have voted in favour of holding a referendum.
'No momentum'

Premier Anna Bligh says there does not seem to be any momentum for daylight saving in south-east Queensland.
She will take the figures to a Labor caucus meeting on Monday.
"What we see with these results is a very significant divide," she said.
"Regional Queensland has made it absolutely clear they do not support a referendum.
"Given this I can't see any momentum for change."
Jason Furze from the Daylight Saving for south-east Queensland Party says there is momentum for change.
"It's a clear indication that so many people are interested in this issue," he said.
"So many people in south-east Queensland are sick to death of not having daylight saving.
"The only way to clearly understand if Queenslanders want daylight saving is have a trial and a referendum and ask them the question."
'Free vote'

Independent MP Peter Wellington who has proposed a private member's bill on a daylight saving zone for the south-east says the strong public opinion for and against makes it even more important that MPs be allowed to vote how they want to.
"The statistics show that Queensland is divided on this issue of a referendum for daylight saving," he said.
"I believe it's disgraceful that the Premier and the Leader of the Opposition are refusing to allow their elected members of Parliament to have a free vote when this comes forward."

Not that many really. The rest are just clueless.

Most of the places in northern NSW near the Banjo border were running on non daylight saving time when I visited them the last year (Xmas/New Year 08/09)

The solution to the daylight saving debate is obvious. Get the Mexicans to get used to living with nature.

I'm pretty sure the 63% were all tourism operators on the Gold Coast.

And all those fascist commentaria claiming Oz isn't rascist (their words, I realise you discriminate racially against a religion) in response to the "left driven" be nice to muslim campaigns.

They obviously haven't taken a walk down a street in rural Australia (Alice Springs is particularly enlightening).

And I'm sick and tired of hearing this puerile drivel about curtains every farking year. The brains of these Mexicans obviously stop growing at four instead of seventeen. Endlessly recycling the same old crap about curtains and Billies and daylight saving. It's like they need such a pointless argument to make themselves feel better about the fact that they're dicks obviously stopped growing at four too.

Well you're all missing the main point and the most deleterious, shocking, horrendous effect of daylight saving during the last trial.

NOT ONE FARKING EGG FOR THREE MONTHS.
