    Comments: My 5yr old daughter is not getting enough sleep, she refuses to sleep until it is dark. This is interfering with her normal healthy growth and I totally resent having such an imposition forced upon us. Please revert to normal WA time asap.

    Comments: We have enough daylight in Geraldton. The nights during daylight saving period tend to be very windy so it is not that pleasant outside.

    Comments: Daylight saving makes the day too long, its still light at 9 o'clock at night. If you need to get up early to converse with the eastern states you can. For people in northwest WA it isn't suitable.

    Comments: It's a bloody disgrace daylight saving has been instigated without a referendum, especially as I seem to recall one was held a number of years ago to a resounding 'no'. After suffering with daylight saving in Victoria for ten years and finally relocating to the west principIy to avoid it, I shall be moving to Queensland in three years if daylight saving is introduced permanently. Bring on independance for WA.

    Comments: I am finding that it is still too hot between 5 - 7.30 to do play sport or do outdoor activities, and if I wait 'til it is cooler, tea etc is too late.

    Comments: Daylight Savings is stealing daylight from early risers - unfair and unnatural! Leave the clocks alone and get out of bed an hour earlier - start work an hour earlier.

    Comments: There was no need to introduce day light saving into WA, the exisitng day light hours and time zone was perfect. To satisfy the government's goal, day light saving should only be trialed for 1 year and then ask the electors what they want, 3 years is just too long to put up with this system

    Comments: Maybe I am cynical, but there can be no doubt that daylight saving was used as a diversionary tactic by Carpenter when faced with a very poorly performing Education Minister and the corruption inquiry finding that Norm Marlborough was indeed, just as most people had known for years.

    Comments: It was very wrong of the politicians to bring in day-light savings when WA had voted against it three times. The over-whelming majority of people I speak to are against it.

    Comments: Are we a democracy I thought so, but unsure now. WA has said a big NO to daylight saving 3 times already. Is the government afraid of putting the issue back to the vote, or is the DLS issue a smoke screen for something else Wonder why governments are not trusted Take a closer look! Put this to a vote and if WA says yes, I will accept it but I will still vote no. Many business' start at 6am on a roster, why is the many sacrificed for the few, it's not right or ethical and I believe, not accepted by the majority.

    Comments: Daylight Savings is ludicrous!! It is virtually impossible to put your children to bed at a reasonable hour when it is still daylight outside!! And it's not just that either. I'm finding it hard to get used to it too. I don't care what anyone else says, I'm getting up an hour earlier than ever before, and it's exhausting!! How is it possible that the Government can just choose to change the time, shouldn't that be one thing they shouldn't be able to change!! What do they think they are, Gods I find it incredibly hard to believe that this was forced upon us, without us having a say in it. And that it's supposed to continue until 2009!! We're supposed to be a democracy, yeah right...
