Daylight Saving

By now the debate over whether Queensland should have daylight saving might have filtered down south so you could all laugh and point at us again.

As of this weekend’s referendum, Western Australia is officially the most backward state in Australia. The state that’s synonymous with sun has embraced darkness for an extraordinary third time, with a majority of sandgropers siding with the cows and the curtains to reject the devilish communist plot known as daylight savings.
