DAYLIGHT SAVING TRIAL
Given that the Premier has already admitted that he made a gross error of judgment by opening up cabinet communication lines to Mr Burke and Mr Grill, I ask - (1) Does the Premier concede that canvassing support for a daylight saving trial without any public consultation was another major error of judgment? (2) Does the Premier concede that there is major division and upheaval in the community as a result of daylight saving and the way it was introduced? (3) What will the Premier say to the 24 000 people who signed petitions - they were delivered to National Party members at Parliament House today - calling for a referendum this year? (4) Is the Premier now prepared to give people a say on this important issue by supporting a National Party private member’s bill that calls for an early referendum? Mr A.J. CARPENTER

(1)-(4) I regret that as the Leader of the National Party asked his questions, I did not write them down. Will the Leader of the National Party repeat them one at a time? Mr B.J. Grylls : I really want to know whether the Premier now concedes that there is major division and upheaval in the community as a result of daylight saving. Mr A.J. CARPENTER : No more so than usual.
