We have daylight saving in Australia, but NOT in Western Australia, where I live. The arguements against it were many, including: Daylight saving will fade the curtains; The children will get more sunburned; The cows won't give milk at the right time,and many others too stupid to mention. So now we have, during the summer months, no less than 6 different time zones in Australia, which at midnight Western Australian time, are:

Western Australia - 12 midnight
Border Town - 1.15am
Northern Territory,1.30am
Queensland - 2.00am
South Australia - 2.30am
Tasmania/NSW/Vic - 3.00am

Northern Territory is on the same meridian as South Australia but doesn't have daylight saving,Queensland is on the same meridian as Victoria/Tasmania/New South Wales , but does not have daylight saving.

It would take a fool not to notice that Western Australia and Queensland have the least faded curtains!
