MARK SPEAK-<br />
MAN NSW Attorney<br />
General and “Minister<br />
for Time” points<br />
out that the laws of<br />
time in NSW are governed<br />
b y the Standard<br />
Time Act 1987 which<br />
provides that the summer<br />
time period starts<br />
“at 2am on the first<br />
Sunday in <strong>October</strong><br />
each year”.<br />
Labour Day falls on<br />
the first Monday in<br />
<strong>October</strong>.<br />
This year the first<br />
Monday in <strong>October</strong><br />
is the first day of the<br />
month therefore the<br />
first Sunday in <strong>October</strong><br />
falls on <strong>October</strong><br />
7<br />
Ṡunday won’t fall<br />
on <strong>October</strong> 7 again<br />
until 2029 meaning a<br />
baby born on Monday<br />
<strong>October</strong> 8 will be on<br />
the eve of their eleventh<br />
birthday the next<br />
time the coincidence<br />
occurs.<br />
Daylight saving will<br />
end on Sunday April<br />
7, 2019.<br />

DAYLIGHT SAV-<br />
ING may be on the<br />
way out. <strong>The</strong>re is a<br />
move in Europe to<br />
end the messing with<br />
the clocks, watches<br />
and time pieces as<br />
they say it has worn<br />
out its usefulness.<br />
And I certainly agree.<br />
<strong>The</strong> European Parliament<br />
has referred<br />
the matter to individual<br />
countries to come<br />
back for a united front<br />
so change seems almost<br />
certain to be on<br />
its way. Hooray!<br />
