I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question. On behalf of the Premier, I accept the member's
congratulations.
The WA government does not support the implementation of
daylight saving time in WA, given the countless benefits of Western Australia's
time zone, which aligns with a quarter of the world's population,
including WA's major trading partners.
