What you ‘Can Do’
given how Labor & the
LNP are out of touch:
 |
Like the majority of
Queenslanders, ‘Can Do’
Campbell has mentioned
that he’s supportive of
Daylight Saving.
To read his
backing of
daylight
saving:
|
In 2007
he said he’d like to see
its reintroduction in
Brisbane as he lobbied
the State Government for
its return soon after
gaining administration
in 2004.
His sudden backflip
confirms
Queenslanders being
ignored
must elect DS4SEQ
candidates, not vote
#1 for the majors.
The Problem: It doesn’t matter which major party governs Queensland, even if the premier of the day is personally pro-daylight saving, no major party will necessarily implement it in Southeast Queensland unless there is a significantly high electoral risk (equal to that of rural Queensland seats as we speak) created by the way Southeast Queenslanders vote at the next State Election.
The LNP & ALP take the southeast’s votes for granted!

Want Daylight Saving in
Southeast Queensland
plus a say on who should
govern the state?
Vote #1 for Daylight
Saving for South East
Queensland (DS4SEQ) and
#2 for the Major Party (LNP
or ALP) of your choice

Important things to
consider when voting
this way:
If your decision to
vote #1 for DS4SEQ has
them winning the seat,
then you’ll have brought
them a step closer to favourably negotiating a
crucial preference deal
that will make it too
risky for the major
parties to continue
ignoring the majority of
Queenslanders calling
for Daylight Saving in
the state’s south east –
Queensland Government’s
Survey Results Are Below
·If your DS4SEQ
candidate doesn’t win a
good enough percentage
of the primary vote (in
aid of them winning the
seat), then your ballot
paper will serve the
purpose of not only
showing how supportive
you are for Daylight
Saving in Southeast
Queensland (despite
DS4SEQ not winning), but
you’ll be helping to
determine which major
party wins government.

Want Daylight Saving in
Southeast Queensland but
not interested in voting
for the major parties?Vote #1 for Daylight
Saving for Southeast
Queensland (DS4SEQ) only |
Important things to
consider when voting
this way:
· If your decision to
vote #1 for DS4SEQ has
them winning the seat,
then as mentioned
earlier, you’ll have
brought them a step
closer to favourably
negotiating a crucial
preference deal that
will make it too risky
for the major parties to
continue ignoring the
majority of
Queenslanders calling
for Daylight Saving in
the state’s southeast.
· If your DS4SEQ
candidate doesn’t win a
good enough percentage
of the primary vote (in
aid of them winning the
seat), then your ballot
paper will only serve
the purpose of showing
how supportive you are
for Daylight Saving in
Southeast Queensland
(despite DS4SEQ not
winning), not count as a
vote for a major party.
Important points for
people who vote either
one of the two above
mentioned ways:
· If you’re supportive
of Daylight Saving in
Southeast Queensland but
are sceptical of it
being brought in, then
there’s nothing to lose
by voting either one of
the above two mentioned
ways you find best – You
could be somewhat rather
surprised to learn that
you’ll have just helped
have a DS4SEQ candidate
elected in aid of
forcing there to be a
trial and a referendum
on the issue of Daylight
Saving in Southeast
Queensland.
· Voting #1 for Daylight
Saving in Southeast Queensland
(DS4SEQ) is the only
way to help bring it
on!
· Major party candidates
who end up losing in the
southeast could be left
somewhat deservingly
upset, thanks to this
significant economic and
lifestyle issue proving
they’re not in the game
of representing the very
people who elected them
with-in such a
metropolitan region – As
political editor Laurie
Oakes once said,
“Political careers can
end in tears”
· In the end a major
party will govern
Queensland, no matter
the outcome.
Australians can label Queensland’s major parties as going ‘backward’, as opposed to the majority of the state’s voters who want to go 'forward'.
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. |
Like the 2010 Federal Election more are expected to vote #1 for QLD independents and minor parties, not the majors – Source: June’10 Galaxy Poll Results:
LNP: 44% | ALP: 32% | Greens:16% | Other Party: 8%
Poll taken only hours after the Premier had hinted she’d not be going ahead with a trial or a referendum
How things have changed in Queensland:
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 (mentioned earlier) 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!

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.
