Daylight savings debate continues

May 11

Court owner Bree Maddox is in today’s West Australian, again, to express her views on daylight savings. It’s safe to say she’s the new centrefold model for the ‘no’ vote.

Along with a humongous action shot of her pouring a beer (except no beer is actually coming out of the tap), Bree repeats what she said in the last daylight savings article, minus the outbursts telling people to get a life. There are, however, a few additional comments which seem to address the issues I raised in my last post:

Bree’s argument is no longer that “people go out to clubs later”, it is now that “most people don’t want to eat their dinner until it’s dark”. I previously commented that daylight savings would actually help increase The Court’s alfresco dining crowd. Perth is a west coast city - sunsets are a defining feature of living on a western coast and daylight savings will help change the way people see late afternoon and evening dining.

Bree also previously said she doesn’t feel safe walking in the mornings if it’s dark, to which I highlighted she has a membership to the Next Generation gym across the road from her apartment. The new article states:

From a personal point of view, [Bree] said daylight saving meant she could not walk her dog in the morning because it was too dark and unsafe

The new addition is the mention of her dog. I do need to point out Bree that I’ve seen you take your dog out to The Court a couple of times after dark. It may be tucked away in a purse like Paris Hilton, but you’re still taking the dog out while it’s dark. Just sayin’.

Bree’s partner Malcom Day does feel differently about daylight savings:

“If I didn’t own [The Court], I’d probably vote Yes but because our first priority is business, I’ll be voting No, unfortunately,” he said.

However, Mr Day said daylight saving would be beneficial for his other business, Adultshop.com.

I’m not going to imply anything here, but I totally invite you to read between the lines of those two quotes.

As I said previously, I encourage everyone who wants to add hours to their summer social lives, have more time to do things outdoors and bring Perth alongside the rest of the world to put in the effort to vote, and vote YES on daylight savings THIS SATURDAY!!!
