John Hargreaves has announced that we can have some light in our mornings again with our harmonised daylight savings regime finally ticking over this Sunday night.
- “Last year the ACT Legislative Assembly unanimously amended the Standard Time and Summer Time Act 1972 to allow daylight saving in the ACT to start on the first Sunday in October and end on the first Sunday in April.
“The change was done to harmonise daylight saving arrangements with New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT so as to reduce confusion for interstate travellers and those commuting for business.
The clocks are going back an hour and it is suggested you check the batteries in your smoke detector while you’re at it.
