I probably shouldn’t get political on this forum, but I get very tired of dealing with 2 time zones at this time of year.
I live on the NSW side of the border, and the business is in NSW, and employees live in NSW, so it should be simple shouldn’t it?
Well, the lovely Leah has work on the Queensland side 4 days/week, our local television reception is much better from the QLD feed (which means programs are later), and a high proportion of our local customers are QLD-side. We open the business on NSW time and close on QLD time, and when when dealing with people from the state of QLD and from the state of NSW, I sometimes find people in the state of “confusion”.
It’s the only place in the world where the time zones are differentiated by lattitude. The Gold Coast is the 6th largest city in Australia and has boasted of it’s seamless borders environment with Gold Coast/Northern Rivers. Hello!
I was pleased to hear of a political party contesting this weekends election on the single issue of Daylight savings.
http://www.ds4seq.org.au/ is the website of the party and they are contesting a few seats to get the message across to the QLD government. They are looking for volunteers to man polling booths and so on. I hope their message is heard loud and clear.
Not that I’m impressed a lot, but this is more than I expected for when I found a link on SU telling that the info here is quite decent. Thanks.
