Yes to common daylight saving

Yes to common daylight saving :

"The plan would extend daylight saving by 35 more days in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and the ACT and bring them in line with Tasmania."

Even though we are one country , we are a massive continent and even though most of us would probably like to be on the same time AT the same time the article explains why some people would be disadvantaged because of where they live. Certainly it would make telecasts and phonecalls simpler and you wouldn't have to mess around as you fly to different states. It would make phone calls to overseas countries in the vicinity easier. I personally like daylight saving but mainly when we do it for the summer months so we can make the most of the daylight after work. It makes such a difference to me. I do not think we should just decide. I think we should keep talking about it because we will find a solution which suits most. It can't be a self centred approach. It needs to be looked at from the point of view of how it would benefit us as a country and then which groups would be really put out. The time differences are geographically understandable but not really making sense in the daily routine of Australia.
