Why not scrap daylight saving altogether?
It would be unsustainable to end Daylight Saving all together. Imagine for example if it was your community achieving a 30% reduction in road fatalities due to Eastern Daylight Time – YOU’D WANT TO KEEP IT IN PLACE – This finding has been sourced from the NSW Roads & Traffic Authority.The clear message is that it’s only responsible that more be done in Northwest NSW (their sunrise is too late) & Southeast QLD (their sunset is too early) in order to GET THE DAYLIGHT BALANCE RIGHT! for such regions – It’s a waste of lives and emergency resources otherwise.
