Yes - using Stellarium - location Melbourne -
if I go to 22nd December the Sun starts to rise at about 5am.
Without DST it would rise at 4am.

Without DST -
if people woke up in the morning at 7am they would have missed 3 hours of daylight.
It's about how much daylight people want to waste.

I liked it when I was working and had a house in summer.
I could come home after work at 5.30pm - have a cup of tea -
and then mow the lawns.
That would then give me a free weekend to do as I pleased -
no lawn mowing required -
so I support DST.

cheers
