Just Say No to Daylight Savings???

In case you were wondering, Western Australia will not be turning its clocks back an hour tonight.  The referendum to introduce daylight savings to Western Australia was proposed and rejected four times, in 1975, 1984, 1992, and 2009.  Lengthy papers exist on the case against introducing daylights savings to Western Australia.  I'm honestly a bit taken aback by how strongly people feel about this.  Facebook groups exist for "Perth People Who HATE Daylight Savings" as well as "Perth People Who Love Daylight Savings."  Who would have thought it would be problematic to have an extra hour of sunlight in the evening?  I would much prefer it to my 5:00AM wake-up courtesy of the sun streaming in brightly through my shut blinds.  As much as I hate to say it, I miss something else about Doha: the blackout curtains.
