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?
