I'm a zone time man.
Daylight saving is a separate issue.

I have never really got why getting up in the dark is actually an issue. For farmers, they can just work later. It shouldn't actually matter for them.
There is always that argument about school kids getting on the bus when its dark.
1. im not sure why that matters
2. if it really does matter, why not move the school start time half an hour later on the west coast.

From what I can remember Broken Hill on the NSW side of the border aligns itself with our timezone.

our division at work has sites in adelaide, perth, melbourne and sydney and it doesnt really seem to bother us.
in terms of the concept of daylight savings though, i think it is great. having daylight hours after work instead of before work is just that much more useful. whether or not we need to further change our time zone, I'm pretty ambivalent on it really. not fussed either way
