A fair cross section of Queenslanders?

**PhilipA** · 2nd November 2013, 09:26 AM

At Yorkey's Knob if they got daylight saving the first 747 of the day would wake them in the dark rather than in the light.

I was amazed that Cairns airport flight path runs right down the coast over all the Northern beaches and they are pretty low at Yorkey's Knob.

I know most farmers dont like it. all my friends at school liked it though. I know sweden and norway do it. I have no idea why though as in their day light savings period which is summer they have hardly any darkness anyway

How many times are you Mexicans going to bring up this daylight saving rubbish? It has been taken to the umpires enough times to be buried. Are you hoping for the sensible generation of Queenslanders to pass on and allow the continuous stream of border jumpers to infiltrate in enough numbers to turn Queensland into another Melbourne? What inane mental process is driving you to constantly want to change the lifestyle of millions of Queenslanders who are happy with their lifestyle and don't want it changed. We have told the world repeatedly , we don't want daylight saving....open your mind, open your ears and listen.....we don't want it! If you feel the need for it so badly, go live in, or stay in the state that has it. Thank you for listening.

The constant questioning is mostly from the SE corner that has to deal with NSW,,

I'm quite happy, my cows are happy and my curtain supplier is happy.

(or Treads, are you really hinting a fair cross section of QLD'ers are idiots?

Agree with Rambling boy, I can't see WHY QLD'ers would want/ need it. We on the other hand down here love it, to offset the depressive state of mind that comes with getting up in the dark to go to work, in the dark, and come home, in the dark when the shorter days roll around. Did I mention the single digit temperatures, sleet, and rain too?

Atherton is looking better everyday.

Just to add to the discussion National Geographic puts forward an American perspective.

I think its only really office workers that want daylight savings in QLD, all the blokes i know that work in Trades/ labouring hate the idea, all it would mean for us is that we would have to start work in the dark in summer aswell!

I normaly start work at 5:30am, Ive left home by just before 5am, I finish work at generally around 2:00pm so I get plenty of sunlight hours,

Us southerners love it and need it, as stated, in winter you leave for work in the dark, arrive home in the dark, and if you have a bit of land, you just get nothing done at home. Come daylight savings, you leave off work in the just light, finish work and still have 3-4hrs of sunlight. And because of days like today, where its a balmy 10 degrees and raining, you still have another 10 hrs of sunlight to go so may have an afternoon window to get some stuff done.

Jc, let me know when you find a nice place, I could leave tomorrow, its the family that I'll have trouble convincing.
