WA trialled it for a while, one of the reasons for abandoning it was that it gave the locusts an extra hour of daylight in which to breed

Many people in Queensland - including some highly educated ones - actually believe it means you get an extra hour of sun every day which fades the curtains, stops children from sleeping, and prevents hens from laying eggs......

Do Brisbane tv stations broadcast the New Year's Eve Sydney on time, or delayed by an hour?

Thankfully my bodyclock woke me up at 7am AEDT which means I should be ok tomorrow when we're back to work.

Oh don't you love DST?

It's only the same as a single hour's jet lag, which you should overcome during the public holiday. Having the swap this weekend is actually very cunning!
