Hon Paul Llewellyn asks about the progress, actors, results, and publication of studies measuring the impact of daylight saving on water consumption. Hon Kim Chance responds that impacts are measured annually, analysed by Data Analysis Australia, and that slightly less scheme water was consumed during daylight saving in 2006 compared to the period since water restrictions were introduced in 2001.

DAYLIGHT SAVING - WATER CONSUMPTION
I have two questions related to daylight saving that are in similar terms. One was directed - The PRESIDENT : I ask the member to ask a question, please. I am not interested in a speech; just ask a question. Hon PAUL LLEWELLYN : The Leader of the House gave me the answer to the wrong question. I will ask the question on water. In the interests of having informed public debate and government commitment to the systematic monitoring of the impact of daylight saving measures on energy and water consumption and other areas of concern to the community, such as health and education, I ask - (1) What progress has been made on measuring the impacts of water consumption? (2) Who is undertaking these studies? (3) What preliminary results have emerged? (4) Where and when will the results of the studies be published? Hon KIM CHANCE

I thank Hon Paul Llewellyn for the question. I am sorry I confused the questions. They were very similar. (1) Impacts are measured annually and analysed at the end of the daylight saving period. (2) Data Analysis Australia on behalf of the Water Corporation of Western Australia. (3) When measured against the same period since the introduction of water restrictions in 2001, slightly less scheme water was consumed during the daylight saving period in 2006. (4) The results were released at the completion of the initial period of daylight saving in 2006.
