Mate, the percentages mean nothing unless we know the volume of voters and the demographic mix and if the two were representative of the voting population:blink:

Yeah, but it's a referendum about having a referendum. Surely those figures suggest at least having a referendum to decide whether we want it or not. THEN you would get true voter demographics

If it were 2/3rds of total population of SEQLD it might be but 2/3rds of an unknown but in all probability small amount of people is underwhelming imo. The only people I know of who bang on about having it are a very few Brits on here. Vast majority of friends and work mates are from interstate and none of them want it or could care less.

Uh Huh. Start work earlier and leave work earlier, oh hang on, I've got to work until 5pm. Whoops there goes that extra hour :rolleyes:

Can we please stop this crap about 'oh just pretend it is daylight saving and change your own clocks'. Well, trains don't change, neither do shop opening times, neither do my work hours, neither do all the businesses I have to deal with on a 9 to 5 basis. Neither do the tv programmes I like to watch, neither do my kids school and kindy hours.

So its complete bollox to say just change my hours and get on with it.

You watch it or I might end up down there, in search of somewhere I can drink in daylight :D

Quite apart from the daylight saving issue....Queensland is just backward, lets face it :blink:

Doesn't sound like you need daylight. What difference will an extra hour of daylight make to someone who is stuck in stations, on trains, at work and then in front of the TV?

A bit like - "NSW - towards 2000". Are they going backwards 10 years - or is it a speed limit they're aiming for.
