Fading curtains be damned, let’s save the daylight! The cows won’t know what’s hit ‘em and we’ll crash our cars but hell, let’s throw caution to the wind and git ourselves some extra sunshine lovin’ in the evenin’ time. All you have to do is sign the Queensland Parliament petition. It’s not one of those dodgy online petitions that some bogan mother of five from an outer south-western suburb started — well, maybe it is, but it’s on the official Queensland Parliament website.
Premier Beattie said in March that he won’t budge because it’s important that our time is closer to that of our Asian neighbours. I say phooey to that, what about our (arguably less distant) neighbours in Murwillimbah and even as far afield as Sydney and Melbourne?
My signature’s there, I am daylight savings fan Number One. There’s no point wasting the sunshine on those crazy hours before 7am, nothing interesting to see here, people, climb back into bed and snuggle up to whoever it is you paid good money for because mornin’s are fo’ sleepin’. Let’s save the daylight and enforce compulsory beers and barbeque at my place every afternoon. You’re shouting, unless you’re pretty.
