Qld: Lights out for daylight saving

Queensland's Premier has told the state it won't see daylight saving anytime soon ..

with both the state's major political parties still standing firm against winding the
clocks forward.

Late last year .. a survey found 59 per cent of people statewide .. and 69 per cent
of south-east Queenslanders .. were in support of daylight saving .. which takes place
in other states between October and March.

Premier ANNA BLIGH admits her stance is not a popular decision .. but one she'll stick by.

Queensland and the Northern Territory are the only two states not participating in daylight
saving.
