Some daylight-saving news from all over: Some National Party members in Western Australia are planning a campaign of civil disobedience against daylight saving time. Premier Alan Carpenter has ridiculed the idea. <http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Protesters-may-ignore-WA-daylight-savin…> The residents of one Amish community near Columbia, Missouri do not observe daylight saving time. <http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2007/08/16/heat-fact-life-amish/> Nippon Keidanren and major banks in Japan have begun an informal daylight saving time by scheduling the work day one hour earlier than usual for one month. <http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/national/news/20070801p2a00m0na004000c.html>

I'm forwarding this message from Susan Johnson, who is on the time zone mailing list at a different address than the one shown below. --ado -----Original Message----- From: Johnson, Susan [mailto:Susan.Johnson@kronos.com] Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 8:39 To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: RE: More daylight savings in Australia Folks, Do we have any official word on what will happen in Western/Southern Australia and when? My Australian office tells me that it now looks like South Australia, NSW, ACT, Victoria, and Tasmania DST changes will occur the first Sunday in April 2008 - instead of the first Sunday in October 2007. All changes are permanent except for South Australia, which will undergo a 'trial' change. --Sue Susan Johnson Manager, Customer Engineering Product Management Kronos Incorporated p: (978) 947-4342 f: (978) 367-5818 www.kronos.com Experts at Improving the Performance of People and Business(tm) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Eggert [mailto:eggert@CS.UCLA.EDU] Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 4:12 AM To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Re: More daylight savings in Australia "Eric Ulevik" <eulevik(a)gmail.com> writes: > http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21549128-2,00.html Thanks for the heads-up. Today's Sydney Morning Herald reports that South Australia and the Northern Territory (!) may sign up later, but that Western Australia and Queensland will not be involved. Perhaps we should wait a bit to see who falls into line. Also, the SMH says only "it is believed" the dates are as you mentioned. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2007/04/12/1175971265494.html This is currently listed as the #4 most-viewed article on the Sydney Morning Herald web site.
