Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House, a recent e-petition revealed that over 77,000 Queenslanders have expressed a desire to trail daylight savings. The current government is refusing to re-open this debate. We live in a democracy, not a dictatorship. Let the people have their say.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to call an immediate referendum to trial daylight savings in Queensland.
