Campbell Newman rules out daylight saving for Queensland including the southeast corner

On channel 7 News tonight, Brisbane Lord Mayor - for 2 more days - Campbell Newman has ruled out daylight saving for Queensland including a split time zone for southeast Queensland.

He said you can't have a split time zone even though it works effectively in Broken Hill in western New South Wales which is on South Australian time.

In the US, several states operate successfully with split time zones.

In 2007, Campbell Newman supported daylight saving.

People who think Campbell Newman might be a breath of fresh air with progressive ideas for Queensland if he becomes Premier now realise he is just a lot of stale, hot air.
