The Advertiser: New debate on daylight saving start dates :
"SA Tourism Commission chairman Phil Hoffmann, who also heads leading travel agency Phil Hoffmann Travel, said daylight saving made economic, environmental and lifestyle sense.
But he said with the states' different start times, with some not changing clocks at all, it was 'messy' for travellers. He called for the eastern states to come in-line with each other."
Yes, it is darn annoying having different parts of Australia and NZ on different times. It is stupid when you are travelling or trying to make interstate or NZ calls. You always forget if it's an hour or two hours and then when you get it right it all changes again. The states in Australia can't seem to agree about this at all. I wish they would stop shifting around the weekend it happens. Now I never know when it's going to start or stop. That is another part of the craziness and tomorrow I'll have no idea who is on what time where. Keeps us flexible, I guess. Daylight saving is a great idea and I like it. Can't believe the clever country can't sort it out.
