Qld: Let southerners scrap daylight saving, says Joh's son

JOHN BJELKE-PETERSEN .. the son of Queensland's former premier .. wants southern states
to scrap daylight saving.

He says that'd be a better option than Queensland putting its clocks forward for one
hour each summer.

Queensland doesn't have daylight saving .. after a trial period failed to gather enough support.

Every year there are calls for the reintroduction of daylight saving in Queensland
.. but Premier PETER BEATTIE has refused to call another referendum on the issue.
