I loved DLS when I was working outdoors, sun was up just as I was starting work and I had 1 less hour working in the heat of the day.

I am a shift worker too, but I prefer DLS.

with DLS it is still light on my way to work and dark when I get home (easier to get to sleep when it's dark).

now without DLS it is dark when I leave for work and light when I get home.
the fukn annoying birds are all happy and chirpy that it's light and it's a lot harder to get to sleep.

bring back DLS I say.

DLS would be good for the actual 3 summer months, other than that no thanks.

Also China one of WAs major trading parties is on the same time zone...

DLS is awesome, I grew up with it and I find it really difficult not having it.. I used the extra time after work to go for a run or get things done. I think they just make it so damn hard to vote that most people don't get a say. Online poll would be so much better.

DLS rocks!!! Bring it back I say!

Unfortunately, after 4 referenda in which it was defeated each time, I don't see DLS rising from the ashes for a LONG time. No govt would be game enough to do it for at least the next dozen years or so. By that time I'll be close to retirement & won't give a sh!t anymore .

bah, there is no need for day light savings.

If people are so concerned about an extra hours light after work, im sure most companies are flexible enough to let you start an your working day an hour earlier.

For companies that rely on interstate communications this would help them year round.

Did you know that WA creates more emssissions with DLS due to the mines being open for a whole extra hour?

Whilst the Libs are in and especially big Col at the helm enjoying his 6am tennis games in Peppy Grove during summer there's no chance of it getting forced on us.

I hate it. Starting work at 6am every day it's a nice change to start the day in sunlight. Also its still light at about 7pm anyway so surely thats enough time to get your shit done?
