Queensland is the only Australian State that does not have daylight saving which in a way is not saving daylight at all because there is still the same amount of daylight from sunrise to sunset whichever way you go.
The main problem for us in the tropics & subtropics is it is daylight at 4am standard time now and not dark until 9pm at night. It automaticly means we will lose an hour of darkness to sleep in rather then add more (sic) daylight to our day.
In cooler climates, like NZ where I grew up or Victoria & New South Wales I can understand it but really it is only done to get most of the lazy beggars out of bed an hour earlier so they can enjoy the best time of the day.
A lot of Queenslanders in the South East corner (Brisbane & the Gold Coast) want to bring the daylight saving in but the rest of Queensland, especially the bush, don't want it now or ever.
