Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has announced she has called a special caucus meeting this morning for Labor MPs to discuss the way forward on daylight saving.
The Labor caucus will meet at 8am AEST to discuss the way forward for a debate on splitting Queensland into two timezones during daylight saving.
Yesterday, Ms Bligh weighed into the daylight saving debate when she used the social networking site Twitter to indicate she might consider a referendum on the issue.
It has been 18 years since Queenslanders last voted on the issue and at that time they rejected statewide daylight saving.
Ms Bligh has now raised the option of having daylight saving in south-east Queensland while leaving the rest of the state on standard time.
Last year the Premier rejected the idea of split zones but now appears to be considering the idea.
