We've had DST for so many years back home in UK, that its something that 'just happens'.
The debate on 'for or against', has rumbled on for decades, and is likely to do so for decades to come.
Personally, I'd prefer the clocks to be left permanently on DST (1 hour ahead of GMT), as in winter, that extra hour of daylight at the end of the day, is far more useful than having that hour in the morning.
In the Northern Hemisphere, around the time of the shortest day (Dec 21st) , its getting dark at around 4pm at 52 degrees north, so having it get dark at 5pm would be preferable, and have little or no impact on my astronomy.
Having spoken to quite few people here in WA, opinion seems to be very divided, and it will be interesting to see which way the vote goes.
