The South Australian government is considering changing their clocks by 30 minutes. The government would prefer advancing clocks by 30 minutes to match the time on the east coast. The public is split. Much of the resistance is coming from the west part of the state, where locals worry about their children leaving for school in the dark, and the government is prepared to consider changing school hours to address this. Another possibility is retarding clocks by 30 minutes; this would move closer to solar time, and would align better with Asia. This change would probably affect Broken Hill as well. Northern Territory will be consulted but seems less inclined to change. The consultation process will take at least two months. The government's website crashed as citizens went online to give their opinion. Sources: Nicholson M. South Australia has the most ridiculous time zone, and might be about to change it.
