There is no reason why the entire state needs to be on the same time zone.

At the end of the day, if the government refuses to move, businesses in SE Queensland could start opening earlier and closing earlier during the summer, effectively forcing the issue.

There are states in the USA where not all areas keep the same clock time, and everyone seems to cope there. As long as the boundary areas are well advertised and don't pass through heavily populated areas, having two time zones in Queensland oughtn't to be a problem, I'd say.
