The milk processers are geared around no daylight savings ,there pickups
are done a few hours after sunup , turning back the clock an hour means the dairy herd would have to be milked an hour earlier almost in darkness .
Funny, the rest of Australia doesn't have a problem with their cows and processers...

Daylight saving was reintroduced in Tasmania in the 60's as a way of conserving power in years where our hydro catchments were low. I'm not sure of how effective it was at reducing power demands.
