OK you have now accepted that it would be pleasant sitting with a glass o wine on a nice light evening with Daylight saving but you have gone and picked the wrong wine, we all know the later picked grape gives a sweeter taste especially the verdelho.
-------------------
Your joking, I can sit on my verandah in the twighlight at 7.30pm now without DLS. I hate sweet wines. Give me something that makes my tongue feel like it is covered in moss anyday.
Great to discover pro DLS people have senses of humour, much like anti DLS people. |

Hi Ausgal,
Thank you for your reply, and I did grant your request, to my hubby's approval, his comment was this; " I don't think I'm right, I KNOW I'm right."
But you also mentioned that if we can't have 7 day trading you would like to see the stores open from 8 to 8. Well I know you are talking about all the store, but lets look at the super markets, bring in extended shopping hours for ALL of them, Coles and Woolworths included, my question is this; What will happen to all the local, family-run markets that do most of their trade after the big stores close?
Answer; They go out of business, because with the larger stores open, people will not bother with the local stores there will be no need for them, they simply won't be able to compete.
I know you will not agree with me, but I can't help but feel this would be a bad idea |

this website shows all the past daylight saving years in perh aswell as other states and countries.
and from the ABS in 1992 apprx 61% of the population was aged between 15-64 now about 70% of the population is aged between 15-64. thats about the only age realted stats i can find. |

| sorry missed a bit the median age is 36.2 in 2006 in 1980 it was 28.2 and in 2000 it was 34.2. so maybe age of the people voting is not significant but more the culture, origins and own personal beliefs. i feel there are to many factors to take into account and plenty of pros and cons, though like someone said earlier you don't buy a car with out test driving it first. and the debate continues........ |

You poor misguided child. You still go to work for just as long as before, You finish school at what is now 2pm, the hottest part of the day. And why would you get to go home if it is too hot? What has that got to do with DLS? |

Just like to know, what the hell kind of spelling they are teaching kids these days, I had to read Koalaskiing's message twice before I could desipher it.
For the love of god, learn to spell Koala, this is a message board not sms, and even if it was, I'd still complain about the lack of spelling.
There is no excuse for not using proper words and spelling. |

Bradus you knuckel head, why would you knock a kid who at least is interested enough to post, and he wants to get out of school to go to the beach, back to North Queensland keep bending them bananas.
I can guarantee this kid will probably achieve more in his life than hiding in your north queensland house in the dark because you are frightend of the light. |

Just a response to this what is to stop coles and woolies from taking 100% market share and put the family own shops out of business to halve the prices on everything in their shops they can absorb the losses a lot longer than the family own business. |

This has already happend there are very few corner stores now, most garages have taken over from the delis by stocking groceries and take away food. The likes of Coles and woolies are already much cheaper.
I really think it is time we caught up with the rest of the world and extended our trading hours. |

GET ready to turn your clocks forward on December 3. Daylight saving is expected to be ushered in this week when a historic vote is taken in the Upper House.
Labor MP Ed Dermer, who until this week had been undecided which way to swing, declared yesterday he would vote yes, virtually assuring daylight saving would be introduced.
Independent MP John D'Orazio, who along with Liberal backbencher Matt Birney introduced a Daylight Saving Bill to the Lower House, said yesterday that Mr Dermer's support meant the pro-daylight group held a 17-13 advantage.
Labor MP Ken Travers, who has been among the uncommitted voters, is also expected to say yes.
Mr Dermer said the fact that families could spend time after work outside and do some exercise had swayed his decision.
The Bill is expected to be debated on Tuesday and Mr Travers said he hoped it would be passed this week.
Mindarie MP John Quigley, who got the ball rolling on daylight saving by holding a referendum in his electorate, said support was strong along the northern coastal strip.
The Daylight Saving Bill was passed 37-14 this month in the Legislative Assembly, before it went to the Legislative Council.
Following a three-year-trial, West Australians will vote on daylight saving in a referendum. |

WA has just recently voted in a referendum on that and the vote was a resounding NO!!!
The voice of the people with regards to extended trading hours has been heard...for at least the next 5+ years anyway. |

Can anyone tell me why when they had the referendum it was not a simple yes or no, I recall it was something todo with the greens wanting their wording. Anyway if we accept that WA is not yet ready to advance to 7 day trading like the rest of Australia we can at least look at extending the hours on the days that we do Trade.
I actully do most of my Xmas shopping when visiting over east as I find it cheaper and more relaxing. Has anybody else found that is so.
The problem with this is it takes money out of the WA economy if too many people didi it. |

Bradus you knuckel head, why would you knock a kid who at least is interested enough to post, and he wants to get out of school to go to the beach, back to North Queensland keep bending them bananas.
I can guarantee this kid will probably achieve more in his life than hiding in your north queensland house in the dark because you are frightend of the light.
------------------
Because the kid thinks he/she won't have to go to school/work as long as they do now. Not having a go at him/her just stating the beeding obvious - the kid is misinformed.
And if the kid wants to achieve more than me they better start now silica. And it is typical of people to think I am in NQ when in fact I am in CQ. I remember seeing a Quix show afew years back when they promoted a prize in the form of a holiday to Hervey Bay as a far NQ holiday. Geez i laughed. Did you write the promo for it silica? |

apologies Bradus I thought you were from Far North Queensland,
I also do not like people knocking kids for having a go, I accept it was not your intention to bully a child but I believe we should allow them to express thier opinion from an early age. I am sure his/her spelling will improve.
Were people our age, (assuming you are well into adult life quite) enjoy a bit of tounge in cheek banter at each other without taking it serious, degrading a young person can have a profound effect. |

Yesterday (5:57 pm)
WA has just recently voted in a referendum on that and the vote was a resounding NO!!!
The voice of the people with regards to extended trading hours has been heard...for at least the next 5+ years anyway.
This post, like many local WA people is off the mark! Yes there was a referendum recently, but it was on extending the trading hours of the majority of shops and malls etc.
It had nothing to do with the Daylight saving question!
The best example of how slow People are in Wait Awhile, was a news reporter walking down the line of people preparing to vote forthe extended shopping hours. Over all the reporter got a reasonably balanced range of comments from people he spoke to, that was until he found one bright spark who could be related to rygar069. The comment from the 30 something was "We have already voted on daylight savings 3 times why are we voting again". I get the impression that this person must have a large number of relatives in WA.
Daylight savings, Think about this: Getting home from work on a weeknight, 6pm ish, (still 2 hours of daylight) calling a few friends to meet you down at the beach/park for a BBQ/cricket/run (your own social event), then heading on out. Just after dark, around 8:30 making your way home after a spending a relaxing time with friends.
If you don't think more social time in the pleasant evenings that abound in WA would benefit you and your friends, the opportunity to do a little more exercise (reduce that obesity problem the governments seems to be worried about), build a better relationship with friends and family etc, then there is certainly something wrong social fabric of WA.
Sports club will have reduced costs due to the reduced time that need to run those massive lights for the evening training sessions, Dads can spend an extra hour with kids in a park (running around wearing them out) they sleep better and healther to boot. |

| I do NOT want Daylight saving because it increaces road accidents. The public become excesively tired and are less alert. They become more agressive and angry. When the daylight finishes I have noticed a sigh of releif and people become less anctious and more reasonable. I lived in Tasmania when it first came in. Yes there was more daylight time but I noticed that the public were generally more agressive and angry, with very little patience. Drivers were more likely to take dangerous chances when driving their cars. They were more impatient. I tried to stay off the road as much as I could during that time of the year. I noticed the public were more reactive and less patient. There were more public out bursts. When daylight saving ended it seemed like a sigh of relief everyone one went back to normal. By changing the clock you are tampering with our inbuilt clocks which would affect our health in time. Western Australia has a high percentage of skin Cancer cases caused by the sun. We have plenty of daylight out in the sun. I do believe it is in the best interest of the publics health and their sanity to leave the time where it is. We have enough car accidents and enough agro people. Don't make life any worse than it is. Statics taken in the eastern states prove all the above and an increase in marrage break ups.I do hope you will concider the above yours sincersly Mary |
