US Pushes for Permanent DST | Sydney News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

The US House just passed a bold bill to make daylight saving time permanent—no more twice-yearly clock flips—though it still needs Senate approval. Meanwhile, Australia’s still stuck with its patchwork approach, with no major moves to change things, despite ongoing debates, especially in Queensland. Americans largely support ditching the time changes for better sleep and safety, but critics warn of darker winter mornings. One alternative proposal would let states choose daylight saving instead of forcing it nationwide. As the US debates, Australia waits—still deciding state by state, with daylight saving kicking in across most of us on October 4th.
