This is the story of daylight saving so far in WA...
At the first daylight saving referendum held in Western Australia on 8 March 1975, voters were asked, “Are you in favour of the standard time in the state being advanced on hour from the last Sunday in October in each year until the first Sunday in March next following?” The proposal to make daylight saving permanent after a trial period was rejected. A second daylight saving referendum was held on 7 April 1984 posing a similar question and the proposal to make daylight saving permanent was again rejected. At a third referendum on 4 April 1992 the proposal was also rejected.
Now we're are having another trial, this time 3 years, this is the second summer. After the 3rd summer a referundum will be held, supposedly within 2 months of the clocks going back in 2009.
NSW, Melbourne and Adelaide all have daylight saving. Parts of QLD also do.
Me personally, I hate it.
