[Iamsam]

[Sparky]

Me too, I loved taking my dogs to the beach after work and getting home and doing stuff when it was still light.

It is great when you are stuck working inside all day, nice to get home and enjoy some extra sunshine.

I want it in more, so i can drink up more in the summertime during cookouts at the park near the beach.

i vote no because nothing is worth stuffing around my sleeping pattern and bodily functions for.
we already get alot more sunlight than so many other countries in the world, stop trying to play god. daylight saving does not "create" any "extra" time, its amazing how simple illusions can fool so many. shall we say the glass is half full or half empty? lol

[Sparky]

it creates more useable time for most people
it lets people go out and do things after work and for me when i get called back to work it allows me to work longer in daylight giving me a safer workplace

Its about time WA got in with the rest of the country. Does it really matter if we have it?
I voted YES, Even though I know the polls are rigged, so it will be a NO..
Trying to contact my sons in Tassie makes it difficult when we are 3hrs different,

[Iamsam]

sure it dosent create "extra" time but it creates more useable time in the afternoon. serisouly nobody wants light in the morning, you dont go out and do stuff first thing in the mornign before work, you dont get enough time, however if you have that extra time after work than you can do more and enjoy all the sun. and if the biggest thing is your "body clock" i think you should have a spoon full of concret and harden up. its not that hard to sleep.

[Krystal]

That's exactly right, it doesn't create more or less time, it gives us more options.

I don't finish work till after 6pm so i like having a bit more 'light' at my disposal. You can garden, wash your car, go to the park......do whatever really. I voted Yes but looks like it doesn't matter

[Iamsam]

Even though I know the polls are rigged,

couldnt agree more with this, so so so true

[Krystal]

Hey Az, your right about the 3hr difference.

Its harder for business as well....All suppliers need to be contacted before 2pm (our time) so this make it extremely difficult in communicating and getting 'urgent' orders for customers who come in after lunch....its amazing what one hour difference makes when it comes to business.

WA voters are against daylight savings as people here like to live in the dark ages
i mean we cant even have 7 day trading or shops open longer hours heaven forbid we want to have more daylight
that would be change we dont change we are WA
if Colin Barnett wont allow another test or referendum in his stay of power i hope he too gets voted out at the earliest opportunity

[Ronny]

LOL, when I moved here from over east, I was told set my watch back two hours and get ready for the 20 year delay LMAO

Some of the arguments for why some people didn't want it were ridiculous.

One was because the birds didn't know what time to feed lol...

But yeah, obviously, I'm all for daylight savings

[Ricksta]

i am absolutly stoaked that were winning it'll alway be NO! everytime we vote more and more ppl vote no doesn't that tell te goverment something?

any ways IMO it only benifits buisness's that trade with the eastern state's

excuse the spelling mitake's been drinking. Whoo Yeh

[Sparky]

actually the votes are getting closer
its inevitable that eventually we will get daylight savings we will keep having trials and referendums and wasting more time and money untill yes wins

[Iamsam]

any ways IMO it only benifits buisness's that trade with the eastern state's

and isnt that a good thing?
isnt it good that we are keeping business in australia and stimulating the econemy?
many business deal with the east, you will find nearly all lfs will deal with the east, and if you want something next day, it sorta has to be shipped before 12 in the east, which means you have to contac them before 9 our time, and that makes life very very diffucult.

[Sparky]

i still havent heard one good arguement against daylight savings yet so many reasons we should have it yet once again the people voted against it
seems like power to the ignorant to me

[Ricksta]

personly i cant be ##### getting outer bed early. and it stuff's my job around! but most ppl wouldn't understand that cause i bet u most ppl on here work 9 till 5

[Sparky]

i work when ever required i'm about to go to work again shortly and in summer i tend to work a lot more in early evening i much prefer to work in daylight as i work outside and its much safer working with daylight rather than portable lighting
