It's nearly time to try again. It's been 15 years since the last trial/referendum. That was 15 years after the previous trial/referendum.

We're too close to an election to rock the boat now, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were rolled out next term.

Yes although support for a thing between referendums may not necessarily be the same as support for a thing following a scare campaign during the lead up to a referendum.

I've never seen the point if it. Perth doesn't seem to need it

I always loved it. I liked the sun setting around 8:30-9pm. I don't really see the point in dawn being at 4:30am, as I'm never awake for it anyway.

Where it really makes a difference though is if you work with colleagues over East. I start work at the start of their lunch time, so I'm totally unavailable all morning. Same on the other side - their day is winding up by the end of lunch, so I only really have the morning.

I know it's only an hour, but it really makes a difference for communication to the other side of the country.
