West Oz finishes our three year trial of DST this month, and a referendum will follow later in the year to decide if DST should be continued.
All of the polls seem to indicate that we will not be having DST again.
It was voted down years before, but some oxygen-thief politician...but I repeat myself...decided that it would be a good thing. Fucker.
Maintaining the 2 hour time difference with the Eastern States is not sufficient reason to have it, especially when it puts you out of step with your major trade markets in Asia...all of whom are in our timezone, but don't have DST.
Cheers,
Tim
