WA Day Light Saving - Thumbs Down
It would appear that the "NO" vote has won the battle for Day Light Savings in Western Australia.
Enjoy your very early light mornings and very dark early evenings. I hear TV is better in WA than a family BBQ in the park/beach.

Maybe when it is next voted on many fat, lazy and old people will have died and it will be accepted. We can only hope.

Re: WA Day Light Saving - Thumbs Down
Between 1992 and 2009 342,419 new voters were registered on the WA electoral roll.
Only 30,473 more people voted YES for daylight saving compared to 1992.
What did the other 310,000 do ?
Maybe it will change when the sensible people leave WA to those who like to insult and ridicule those who have different opinions to them.
But then, once all those fat, lazy, old farmers (who vote NO) have gone, WA will lose a lot of appeal, as it will become a very poor state with no one prepared to run the farms.

You are right, apart from family BBQ's on the beach of an evening there's little else. It's a shame for the tourist/cafe/restaurant industry. I guess we'll all have to have a family BBQ in the early hours before school/work around 5am.

Re: WA Day Light Saving - Thumbs Down
What you people dont seem to realise is that its a healthier lifestyle if you get up early in the morning. Get up and go for a jog and start the day fresh.
Those who want these long nights tend to want it for unhealthy habits such as drinking and eating out(e.g. pigging out)
Early mornings are the way to go.

Re: WA Day Light Saving - Thumbs Down
You can still eat at cafes and restaurants and have a barbie after dark you know. And it's not exactly a mammoth hardship having to turn the lights on at 7.30pm instead of 8.30, is it?

Not so sure with WA having by and large negative, or at the very least, conservative attitudes to any forms of change, which appears to be passed down through the generations,i wouldn't be anticipating change in this life time.

How very adult to insult people who have a differing opinion to you. I would have voted No if I was able and I neither lazy nor old. Working on the fat though.

The result is summed up by the fact that the "nice" folk of Gosnells/Armadale voted No and those in Cockburn/South Perth/Ocean Reef etc voted Yes.
Have you been to Armadale/Gosnells recently? My description is pretty accurate.

As all the votes haven't been counted yet you numbers don't mean a lot yet.

But I am all too appreciative of the morning slot for exercise myself.
