    Oh, and don't get me started on why people don't believe the Farmers when they know the milk output does indeed drop because the Cows get sunburnt udders.
    No such problems in Qld! Which is just as well cos folks r dmb weer I cm frm and MATH SUX

    Do you have a job as an adviser for the SA government? I swear you talk the same BS in a convincing manner as they do.

    Think of it more like a term deposit than savings.

    During the term you don't get to use it someone else does... and after the term is up and you look at the result you wonder why you even bothered in the first place

    Actually thats not all that inaccurate. The ABC and SBS news is often 2 or 3 hours behind anyway because of the time difference betwen states and they don't always have a local news reader. If Rocket Man lets one go, we will probably hear about it on SBS news about half an hour after the bang... or maybe we wont hear it at all.

    Nah, we don't need it thanks.

    The majority of the WA population live on the western edge of our timezone so we already have up to an extra hour of 'recreational sunlight' 365 days a year

    That and the fact that 1/2 the state is above the Tropic of Capricorn so the days up there get shorter in 'summer' as the sun goes past and heads south.
    Plus its the wet season so it is humid as shit and everyone heads inside for the A/C and a Beer or three to whinge about the humidity and wait for the roads to reopen to the fishing spots.
