Queensland Daylight Saving Time
Queensland Daylight Saving Time
Let's enjoy the daylight!


GC SUN - 2nd April 2008

It is sad that the people who are against the introduction of daylight saving obviously have no understanding of the concept    more>>>
.

 






















How much are these two gambling away each year

 at the expense of community
lifestyle benefits and jobs right across Queensland simply by not having the
state's south eastern region

 on Daylight Saving?


(Estimated Daily Cost: $76.7 Million Dollars
along with jobs & community lifestyle benefits)

Yet they’d rather you focus more on a so-called
‘Myths vs The Facts’ campaign which is all about
them
directly saving $1.8 billion P.A.?

Their dark-age thinking means they refuse to publicly acknowledge  that Daylight Saving (ideally suited to South East Queensland) significantly reduces road fatalities (Click here for 28 Year Analysis Report) and improves community safety - Regional Queenslanders can expect more vital emergency services as a flow-on benefit.

The Two Time Zone Debate: Read why it's not an issue in overseas dual time states Click Here

Fact: Two time zones in New South Wales between
Sydney (on NSW time) and Broken Hill (always on SA time) work well and even better, implementing the concept in Queensland won't change the number of
time zones on the eastern seaboard.
 

Welcome to our website!

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:

  • Join the Daylight Saving For South East Queensland Party (DS4SEQ) to become a member, candidate and/or a volunteer.
  • 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,
