Will this high noon be noon standard time or noon daylight saving time?
As I recall, high noon was a shoot out. From what I've seen of arguments in these threads, the darksiders couldn't hit the side of a barn at 10 paces. The pro revellers, however, display rapier senses and skill. The pro group will obviously win the high noon shoot out (unless they turn up an hour late, that is) |

yes, this will determine which areas will need to be burnt to the ground. Who lives and who dies. |

But I'd guess that rioting should start on the foreshore and move northwards...
in the tragic circumstances that a yes vote should get in... |

I agree King, and comments such as "Lynch 'em", "punch their faces in" and the insinuation that people are "not entitled to an opinion if it is not "no"", don't really help the "no" cause either.
Whatever happens saturday, it is a democratic process, and whichever vote wins, wins.
If "Yes" happens to get up, then it simply means that the majority of WA voted for it. It will then be up to the "no" voters to stay motivated, like the "yes" campaigners did over many years, and lobby for another vote in 10 years or so, and vice versa. |

EXACTLY...the daft buggers have totally confused themselves, whereas we who are happy with a normal GMT time are intelligent enough to know the CORRECT time 365 days a year. |

With the slippery tactics being employed, as exposed int he west today...this ain't how democracy is meant to be.
You put a tick it's counted as a 'yes' vote, if you put a cross, it's not counted at all. Is there no depths you pro-dlsers won't stoop to?
Just remember...write a big, fat NO on your ballot paper. |

"what is there about NO that you people can`t understand ?"
========================= ========================= ======
Federal referendums are about important constitutional issues, and once a vote has been passed that is it. The issues usually transcend generations and individuals.
In this case, it's really only a plebiscite. Daylight saving, however, is mostly a lifestyle issue, nowhere near the magnitude or importance of critical societal referendums.
Consequently, it is only natural that a generation that has not had a say on the issue, will call for another vote. DLS is certainly an issue that will raise its head again and again, as the population changes and views evolve, as there is no reason to accept that the current generation should be bound the view of past generations on a matter that is not of any legal, constitutional, human-rights or legal importance, but simply a lifestyle choice.
As such, I would be content if the government legislated for a reaffirmation or otherwise of DLS every 10 years or so, just to make sure it continued to reflect current opinion. |

feral - but u know it won't happen if yes gets up ...... these kids will go on holiday to the gloomy city of melbourne to watch a game of footy or whatever that tickles their fancy over there and see they ahve DLS over there and they will not think that about the changing of the clock....
it is currently why do they have it and we don't? and the line that they can do MORE after work/ (Can't say after school cos they all finish before 4 so they have no excuse) is a bit of a lie cos they can do all that stuff without DLS |

I know that reaffirmation probably won't happen if it gets up, but if it is defeated, it probably will rise again in 10 years. If "yes" gets up, then it's up to the "no" voters to campaign for another vote in a decade, in the same way as the "yes" crowd have been doing.
But again, you are making the mistake of suggesting that only your view on how everybody should use the avaialble hours of sunlight is the valid view.
It's only your view. It is a valid view, but it's still only your view. People have different likes and dislikes and different prioriteis, and as such, are entitled to their own opinion. |

| Read what he said again mag.tide, he is saying referendums are usually for important constitutional issues. He said DLS is like a pleblicite and not a constituinal issue. A good reason why parliament should vote on DLS and not us. That's why we put them in there!! |

It's interesting that the "No" campaingers are up in arms about the electoral commission decision that only the word "no" would be counted as a legitamate vote for the "no" side, a cross would be informal and a tick or a "Yes" would be counted as a "Yes".
Is the no campaign fearful that it's supporters are incapable of writing "no" on their ballot paper?
The decision is understandable when you think about it. A tick usually indicates affirmative, while a cross can be taken to mean either positive or negative - hence the ambiguity. The electoral commission have got it right. |
