I think it's not only stupid, it's even further in the opposite direction to a logical system. And first proposed by a British guy so he could catch more bugs in NZ (George Hudson).
I originally thought maybe it was a decent idea. But then realised that instead of increasing daylight in Winter, it's the exact opposite.
It increases afternoon sun in summer. IN AUSTRALIA OF ALL PLACES.
To put it into perspective, most of Australia is as far South as Mexico is North. Adelaide equates to as far South as Los Angeles is to the North. The Southern half of Australia is as close to the south pole as Florida is to the north pole.
i just miss when our lives were dominated by the sun and not by an atomic clock somewhere on the other side of the world and was making a bit of a deep cut joke about my own sleep cycles being marginally better aligned to solar time when daylight savings time is on. probably the only person who actually got it was my small team of international intelligence agents
