Daylight Savings Year 3

correct Jargs, no it doesn't require a referendum, but to have a bill passed it does require majority in both houses of parliament - current political scene would not see that happen, nor would it have happened when the bill was first introduced in 2006? that's why we are having a vote on it.

Then how did they get the current DLS Bill through Parliament? They still required a Bill to enact the Trial

Private Members Bill was introduced by Matt Birney (funnily enough a Country pollie) and John D'Razio (I think i have spelled that wrong)

The pollies were given a concience vote as well and hey presto......

Damn I really hope not! If that was the case most people on the east would be annoyed too wouldn't they? or is it just parents in WA who have this strange isolated problem? They are children, if it is time to go to bed send them to bed, close the curtains, get darker curtains. They aren't the boss you are! If people are basing their decision on DLS because their children keep complaining that it is light out so why should they go to bed, there is seriously some problem!!!

What time does it get dark in the summer with DLS? 9:00?

Well I found it hard to get to sleep at a reasonable time. Then again getting to sleep at a reasonable time for my occupation takes on a different time zone to most of the population.
