Some users like it but said it goes for too long.
"I don’t mind it but I am always glad when it finishes,” Julie Davies commented.
Lynne McDougall said: “Love but too long”.
Jayne Williams agrees: “Love Daylight Saving but putting a month either end sucks especially when you’re a shift worker!”
Kaye Dillion said she’s glad where she lives its not in play.
Kat Barnes said she “embraces the daylight,” and Patricia Kintworth agrees saying “love it.”
Chris Smyth said he doesn’t really bother him either way.
Kerryn Shearman and Kym Tominlinson-Ryan both agree they “love it”.
Mayor of the Bogan Shire, Ray Donald, has long said six months of daylight saving is too long, this year he has picked up his campaign to have it reduced.
“My views, I believe are shared by many rural and regional people, that six months is too long. A good trade-off for the retention of five months of daylight saving is March should not be included,” he said.
What do you think about daylight saving? Should we get rid of it? Or shorten it? Or leave it as it is?
