No political party will ever introduce state wide daylight saving to Queensland.

The only option is regional daylight saving

However the most recent Government research showed that 1 out of 3 Queenslanders under the age of 35 (and 1 out of 4 Queenslanders overall) had never heard about regional daylight saving. 

The research concluded that “there is a general lack of understanding by Queenslanders of the reasons for introducing two time zones”.

The Bligh Government concluded, on the basis of brief telephone interviews with 600 poorly informed residents of south east Queensland, that there was not enough support for regional daylight saving.
 

 

How did the Government expect Queenslanders to support regional daylight saving if almost half of them did not know about it or understand it?
 

What you can do to get regional daylight saving in southeast Queensland:
 

  • Read and forward the information about regional daylight saving to other Queenslanders (see links below)
  • e-mail your local Labor or Coalition MP – many of them feel that this is not a significant issue for their constituents (copy and paste sample letter in the link below)
     
Email your local MP. You can use our standard email.

Dear

 

I/we support the introduction of regional daylight saving in south east Queensland.

 

I/we request that you lobby your Party leader and/or the Premier to introduce a trial of regional daylight saving with a referendum after the trial.
 

Yours sincerely,
