Queensland’s migration boom could push for daylight savings. 

Over 30,000 southerners have relocated to Queensland in the past year, sparking a fresh debate regarding daylight savings in the state.

Dr Thomas Sigler, a senior human geographer at the University of Queensland, spearheaded a recent study showing a clear majority of Queenslanders in favour of a daylight savings return, almost 30 years following its trial.

Despite these claims, Annastacia Palaszcuk is not in favour of the push for daylight savings, saying that southern states should be on Queensland time.
