That's barley an excuse for lack of sensitivity to the plight of a drought-affected nation.

Actually, smoke alarm batteries go for 10 years now. You should change it every 6 prime ministers.

 

 

[facthunter]

There's one kind of smoke alarm you should have. David Isaacs knows about that. Nev

 

 

[old man emu]

There’s no smoke without “You’re fired”.

Yes, it causes more mould on fish tanks too. We need more SCIENCE teachers.. Nev

Obviously went to school with Trump. About as dumb.

It's too well written to be from some idiot. Looks like a joke to me.

 

 

[kgwilson]

What about fading curtains? Plenty of idiots were and probably still are serious about that.

Some Idiots are educated Marty. I feel better calling them Whacko's. Software problem rather than Hardware. Nev

I thought that was just a joke about Queenslanders.

 

The other one being that the reason they don't have daylight savings is that Joh Bjelke-Petersen thought the sun shone out of his ar*se, and he wasn't getting up an hour early for anyone.

Don't forget about the Dairy Cows

 

 

[willedoo]

I was born and bred on the land and have never seen a dairy cow wearing a watch. Their body clock has them trudging down to the dairy to get milked at the same time every day. Let's say that's 4.30 am aest; with daylight savings that becomes 3.30am. It's the same time to the cows though, and the farmer works his hours around them anyway. The only issue I can think of is whether the milk company can talk the truck drivers into getting up an hour earlier, clock time, to pick up the milk.

 

To keep it all in the time frame, the factory workers would have to start earlier, clock time. The cows don't worry about that, they keep rocking up at the same time they're used to. There must be ways to work around things, as they still successfully produce milk in the southern states.

 

In Queensland, opinion on daylight savings is divided. With the experience of the past trials, some parents of young children said they hated it, as they found it hard to get kids to bed when the sun is still shining and it's still hot. They say the kids get very tired. Other parents love it as they have time after school and work to do things with the kids, like going down the beach.

 

My opinion as an old fart is that I'd prefer not to have it, as it takes a bit to get used to it being still light at nine pm. But it's no big deal, the world doesn't cave in with daylight savings.

 

 

[facthunter]

No point doing it near the equator. The sun sets suddenly. At higher latitudes the twilight makes a very long day in summer so if you start a bit early you get lots of useful time later in the evening.. Nev

 

 

[kgwilson]

When I lived in SE QLD it was light at 3:30 in the morning and summer BBQs were held in the dark. In a referendum about 80% of SE Qlders voted to have daylight savings & there was talk of splitting the state into different time zones as daylight savings was useless in the North due to the difference between Summer & Winter being not much at all. The government of the day refused to do the split so it never changed.

Brisbane is 200k further east of Sydney and 800k further east of Melbourne yet an hour behind in ESDT.

I live in Sydney,

 

I hate altering my dozens of clocks & watches, even to the point of changing my Summer watch for the Winter watch.

 

EVEN the older TVs and radio-clock has to be unplugged then repluged to put the "government's" time in, as they can't turn back that hour.

 

You think it would be an easy job, but as some watches have "day date & time, it takes a bit of working out on different makes.

 

And now the car's have to be done as well
