Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman has been challenged to reveal if he would introduce daylight saving across Queensland if he becomes premier at the next election.
Long-time daylight saving advocate Ipswich City Councillor Paul Tully said Campbell Newman owes it to the people of Queensland to reveal his intentions on the issue before the state election.
"Voters deserve to know where Campbell Newman and the LNP stand on this issue."
"In 2007, Campbell Newman supported a daylight saving referendum saying the benefits to Brisbane were quite marked.
"This week Campbell Newman said he would be scrapping all LNP policies, so voters have the right to know if this includes the LNP's long-standing opposition to daylight saving."
Cr Tully said LNP members of parliament on the Gold Coast who supported daylight saving were overcome with excitement with the prospect of Campbell Newman introducing daylight saving.
"Campbell Newman needs to come clean with the people of Queensland on this issue which has divided Queenslanders for decades," Cr Tully said.
