Is that a fair comparison though? If daylight saving went for 12 months, wouldn't those people out in the park doing stuff in Melbourne eventually not bother a few weeks later as the days get shorter and colder and wetter anyway? You've probably summed up why you like it and Queenslanders...

How on earth could the whole of Australia operate on one time zone? One way to do it would be to have the highest population area stay as is, [east coast, 80% of population] and then central and western time zones fit in with the east? You blokes in Perth would be going to work in the dark...

Well here is a chart of winter rainfall in South Eastern Australia. From the BOM website too. Maybe they should pay more attention to their own info? No falling trend there. Do you want to see the autumn one too? Don't forget that the BOM have an agenda too. See ya's.

Once again, looking at a trend over a 15 year period is a waste of time. You'd know that? See ya's.

This is a bit funny I gotta say. You said,... Then proceed to think that a dry month here and there is a drying weather trend? Mate, I'm talking decades or even centuries. You don't get a rainfall trend by looking at a few months of a few years. I'm thinking Flannery may have used this...

Why didn't you just say you can't show any proof it's getting dryer rather than that long post? Would have saved some typing? See ya's.

After the crap Tim Flannery said about Australia's rainfall being in permanent decline and then the money being wasted building desalination plants, I get annoyed when anyone claims it's getting dryer. I challenge anyone to show a rainfall chart that shows it's getting dryer...

What data do you have that shows weather is getting dryer? I'd like to see that as it's not happening where I live. See ya's.

Some QLDers I know say they don't want daylight saving because they can do stuff in the mornings before it gets too hot? I like it anyway, and like Lizzie have had enough of it being light at 5.30. However I wouldn't want it extended either, it's just right how it is now. See ya's.
