'Undemocratic' Government & LNP still have to face the debate for another two months in parliament with a huge public backlash to be expected! |
DS4SEQ Advice: If the Premier & the Leader of the Opposition were genuine to all Queensland voters, then their party members should have a ‘Free Vote’ in Parliament when the Daylight Saving Bill is debated.
Australians can label Queensland’s major parties as being ‘backward’, not the majority of the state’s voters.
In 2007 the Government’s Nielsen Daylight Saving Survey concluded that “regardless of which option is pursued (state-wide or regional Daylight Saving) it will be imperative to educate residents on the debate, logic and decision process”, but no, the major parties would rather use deception, apply political fear and spin, plus ignore all surveys indicating a majority of Queenslanders in favour of Daylight Saving in general (70%), a South East Queensland (SEQ) trial (64%), and a referendum (63%) –
Ignore them back! Don’t vote #1 for the major parties.
More people will vote ‘No’ to SEQ’s ‘undemocratic’ major party MPs and ‘Yes’ to the independents and minor parties – Source: Latest Galaxy Poll Results:
LNP: 44% | ALP: 32% | Greens:16% |Other Party: 8%
How things have changed: In 2007 after the Nielsen Daylight Saving Survey, the State Government concluded, on the basis of brief telephone interviews with 600 poorly informed resident of SEQ, that there was not enough support for a regional Daylight Saving plan. The Government’s most recent survey (results below) now proves that more than enough people do know of such a proven concept in order to give it a try.

Government Stands Accused of Cheating
South East Queensland’s Online Voters.
The Daylight Saving for South East Queensland Party (DS4SEQ) has revealed that the data ‘cleansing’ of the Government’s online survey results included the removal of “multiple votes from the same computer”.. so husband, wife & kids will only count as 1 vote. This is not genuine democracy at work!
People get sacked from their jobs if they’re found to be tampering with survey data so South East Queenslanders have every right to be angry with the Government.

Why we're urging the State Government to consider this proposal:
It’s the most popular proposal our subscribers prefer following
the Premier’s advice that she’ll only consider Daylight Saving in
South East Queensland
The above proposal will cater for the majority of
Queenslanders calling for Daylight Saving who, according to
State Government’s Nielsen Survey are the people of South East
Queensland, a survey that interestingly found there to be 51 vs 38
state districts to be in favour.
- The benefits
for South East Queensland’s lifestyle and economy
are too good to pass up.
- Time is
generally determined by smart east/west boundaries,
not north/south ones.
- Business
benefits for the majority of Queenslanders
being in line with their fellow Australians will
more than make up for any minor time difference
issue with the rest of the state. Source:

There’s proof the dual time
concept works! Right now there are 16 states and provinces in the
USA, Canada and New South Wales managing dual time arrangements
well, including the sunny state of Florida where Miami (as
if it was Cairns) has no issue with Pensacola (as if was Brisbane)
being on a different time.
There are benefits in this for all Queenslanders:
There are significant energy and road safety benefits for South East
Queensland with Daylight Saving, which offer flow-on benefits to
regional Queenslanders.
Note: We have also received suggestions that the rest of the
state should be moved forward by half an hour in aid of (1)
Halving any one-hour intrastate issue that Queensland state-wide
businesses may be concerned about (2) It will conveniently reduce
the number of Australian summer time zones down from 5 to 4 and (3)
Queensland will never be behind South Australian time again.
If the South East Queensland proposal is successfully trialled
then it could serve as a compromise between South East
Queenslanders supporting Daylight Saving and the rest of the state
remaining on their preferred Eastern Standard Time (EST)
QUT Professor Dulleck’s qualified advice to the Brisbane
Times: “The full impact of the time change – positive or negative –
would never be known without a trial, and dismissing it was a
mistake”

Your Right to Know Queensland’s Nielsen Daylight Saving Survey
Results
No political party will ever introduce state wide daylight saving to
Queensland.
The only option is regional daylight saving.
However the Government most recent Nielsen 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.
Back then the research concluded that “there is a general lack of
understanding by Queenslanders of the reasons for introducing two
time zones”.
The Bligh Government then 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)
