Well as the Enterprise can travel faster than light I think you could get well ahead of the light and as it catches up to you you could by traveling at the same speed as the light you could have perpetual light....

I will just treat your statement with the utmost contempt it deserves.
Truth is I'm not a West Australian, Queenslander ,or New South Welshman but was born in South Australia and have lived in those other states and as an Australian citizen I have the right to live where I choose,
And fortunately for us all you don't own WA

Catching up with frieds etc or spending some time with the Family in daylight hours after they finish work - its only been a day and all the clocks in the house are changed and the beer tastes just as good watching the cricket

On our AWA's, we get paid the full 12 (.5) hours, and will be either paid for 13.5 or work the 12.5 and have n hour off...sort of. When Ansett bit the dust, we were geting 14 days pay for a worked 10.5, and if you had to work more due to the plane availability you got paid accordingly. I for 1 at least, am about 20k (gross) better off with a workplace agreement than with the award.

You must be asking the wrong people. I've come across about 50/50, but I'm sure it will be more like 80/20 against, when the referendum is due. I've been awake since 2:15am WDST so the late sunrise surely didn't affect me today.

Something that made me cringe in yesterdays "Sunday Times" was a stockbroker who said as the ASX was "over east" he had to start work at 7:00am everyday in Perth and it was a great intrusion into his family life poor little thing. I've been starting at 7:00am or earlier my whole working life (over 20 years) and it hasn't affected my family life one little bit. As I said in an ealier post on the subject, it's all driven by the Chamber of Commerce. Anyway, can't wait to vote "No" in three years as I have done two times already.

Cheers

Sorry Equinox,
I was not selective at all...in a working class environment and was surprised at the result....but nonetheless true.
I think you will be disappointed in 3 years time...but then again we may all be dead by then.
