There is a renewed push for Queensland to come into line with the rest of the eastern states with a trial of daylight saving.
Mr Schrinner used a speech this week to argue it was time for the Sunshine State to revisit daylight saving more than three decades after Queensland's last trial.
"It's a thing that can be done really cheaply, virtually no cost and it could be done quickly. Why not have a trial next year?" "Our last daylight saving referendum was 30 years ago and no Queenslander under the age of 48 has ever had a say on this issue," Mr Schrinner said, the"Each year the State Government comes up with a new excuse about why they don't want to give people a say – what will be this year?
Since daylight savings was last trialled in Queensland, Brisbane has a vastly better outdoor lifestyle, so why not play to our strengths and give people another hour of daylight?— Adrian Schrinner Queensland is one of three jurisdictions in Australia that do not have daylight saving alongside Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
