Every life lost on Queensland roads is one too many, and the
road fatalities (majority are concentrated in the southeast)
cost our state’s economy billions of dollars – Source: Police

Imagine the past, present & future generations saved thanks

2004)
Q. So why should Southeast Queensland also gain
from such a life-saving benefit if it too observes Daylight
Saving like NSW?
Answers:
· Because
the metropolitan region experiences similar sunrise
& sunset times like that of NSW according to this satellite

· The
Pedestrian Safety Council of Australia backs the calls for
Daylight Saving to significantly reduce fatalities:
Our message of thanks to Queenslanders
The calls for us to present to you our ‘30%
Fewer Road Fatalities’ Campaign on this webpage are not
only due to the feedback and requests we’ve received from the
people of Southeast Queensland, but such calls also come thanks
to those of you who live in our state’s north, central & west
advising us that you too would like help make sure that the
safety standards improve significantly (with the help of
Daylight Saving only in Southeast Queensland) for the good of
your own friends & family who happen to be driving regularly on
the metropolitan region’s roads during weeknights from 5-8PM.
Let’s make Queensland a ‘Daylight-Efficient’
state
to protect our economy and slash the road toll.
Queensland State Election Voting Tip
Don’t let the major parties try and fool us all
at the next election by way of us allowing them to
ever-so-easily ‘drink down’ our votes.
Because without Daylight Saving in Southeast
Queensland, they’re just about as bad if not worse than the
drunken ‘bloody idiots’ on our roads who are more likely than
not, allowing there to be too many road fatalities in the
state’s southeast – Source: NSW RTA’s Daylight Saving Data.
Vote for Southeast Queensland Daylight Saving
‘trial evidence’ to charge politicians for ignoring this!
