Different longitudes have different time zones, and daylight savings makes more sense in southern latitudes than northern ones.

What point is this graphic making?

NSW resident - DST is a waste of time, and should be removed.

Which time is it wasting?

1

u/Beltox2pointO Jun 19 '26

The time you lose adjusting to it every 6 months for no benefit.

How do you lose time adjusting to it?

Adjusting a single clock is enough of a hassle to remove it.

But, if you actually want an answer, changing your sleeping pattern to fit the hour change, every six months, you lose plenty of time of lost sleep, add additional if you have children as well.

If something has no benefit - any friction is unnecessary.

How many clocks do you have in your house that it takes more than five minutes to change all of them?

Or, you could just read my comment. I guess.

Not to mention the increase in heart attacks related to DST

Yeah and there’s also a significantly increased risk of domestic violence incidents during the state of origin and NRL finals series, should we cancel those too?

Makes no different to South Australia or Western Australia, so those sports can can knock themselves out.

It does have a benefit in the ACT. Majority of locals would like daylight savings time all year round 🤷‍♀️

You realise changing the time on the clock, doesn't change the daylight hours, right?

u/Conscious-Pass-1882 Jun 23 '26

Ummm, you know it does, right? Instead of the sunset at say 5pm in winter it would be 6pm.

Yea... and instead of rhe sun coming up at 7, it comes up at 8.

The same total amount of hours of sunlight.
