Daylight Saving in Qld is a necessity that should be implemented as soon as possible. It will allow working parents to spend more time with their children in daylight hours after work. I have fantastic memories as a child growing up in Melbourne where Daylight Saving was a regular part of the year. Dad would get home from work in the evening & we still had time to get outside together & play cricket before the sun went down. Qld's climate is perfect for Daylight Saving.

We do not need a referendum, just turn the clocks back in unison with the rest of the eastern states and get on with it. Sick of listening to the dumb expounding why we can't have it.

Most don't understand that DST CANNOT be uniformly applied across QLD. The far Nth & N/west set their clock on the east coast. This sees them incur "built-n" DST, year-round. Therefore DST in the far Nth & west is excessive, incurring very late sunsets which do not suit sweltering summer climates.
In the S/E, we are much further east & incur sunrise/sunset very early on the clock (4:50am-6:45pm) DST will work here, but only on the split zone. Its longitude & latitude, not politics & attitude

The south east region of Queensland extending as far north as the Sunshine Coast is the most popular tourist destination , more daylight equate to more activities, this can not be overlooked as the economy rely on the tourist dollars.Therfore a line can be drawn north of the Sunshine Coast region where the population is scares and fery few people would be affected by the dual time zone.

Most People finish work at 5pm or even later. By the time they get home its dark or nearly dark. An extra hour of sunlight would mean we could do more outdoor activities after work. Hence promoting a healthier lifestyle and decrease obesity in a nation with rising obesity levels.

I love Brisbane. I grew up in NSW, but I love Brisbane. The only thing I CAN'T STAND about this state is the daylight savings attitude. My husband's family in the UK have daylight saving; the farmers in every other state in Oz have daylight savings, but Qld..... no, we should respect the cows and keep it the way it is......
This is the attitude that justifies the 'Go to Sydney, see the future' jokes. Get with it, Qld!

I grew up with daylight saving in New Zealand which was so good and we always looked forward to it every year. I grew up on a farm and it has never been an issue there and also never an issue for the dairy farmers. Everyone just makes the adjustment. I love living in Queensland but for me and I know alot of other people living here feel the same, Daylight Saving is the big thing missing. Thanks

It is ridiculous that QLD does not have Daylight Savings, the amount of problems this causes when dealing with customers in other states, planning travel etc is just unnecessary! Not to mention how much more enjoyable the summer is when you can have a BBQ and it’s still light at 7-8pm at night (this is just one of many benefits of daylight savings!!!)! I have only been living in QLD for a year now and the only thing about QLD I don’t like is that it has no Daylight savings! If this doesn’t chang

Daylight saving is a must in Qld. It is one of the most beautiful states so lets enjoy it more.
Daylight saving will allow more family time. Families exercising together in taking walks after dinner or generally playing outside. etc. It would help young mothers with their children teaching them how to sleep as the sun comes up so early the babies and young children wake early, even if you have block out curtains you can't stop the birds from waking at 4.30.
