Thirty years after Queenslanders rejected daylight saving at the polls, Brisbane lord mayor, Adrian Schrinner, is calling for a new referendum on the divisive subject.
[...] Queenslanders voted against permanently introducing daylight saving time after a three-year trial back in 1992. Schrinner says most people under the age of 48 and anyone who moved to the state in the last 30 years hasn’t had a say on adjusting time zones.
[...] Schrinner suggested a new referendum could be held at the same time as the next state election in 2024.
[...] The attorney general, Shannon Fentiman, responded to an anti-daylight saving time petition to parliament in December, saying [it] was “not currently” under consideration.
Cheers,
