Look on the bright side
Finally Western Australia has agreed to trial daylight saving. This will start in December and last for three years, after which it will be thrown to the public vote... the same public that has rejected it three times in the past 31 years.
I think it is a great move, it seems such a waste when it goes pitch black at 6:30PM and that's it, that's the end of the day. If you turn off the lights everyone knows its time to go to sleep, either that or your hiding from unexpected visitors.
It appears the reasons for rejecting daylight saving here in WA include the following; curtains will fade, cows won't know when its milking time which will make their milk sour, and it will be too hot to eat... the other item dominating the news here is the impending obesity crisis...
I think they may have found a solution.
