Analysis: Note that this is the first time, since 1992, that Western Australia has implemented daylight saving, and that, it was implemented extremely late (December 3, 2006) and with very barely 2 weeks advance notice (link). The trial of daylight saving will span three summers and will be followed by a referendum. This means that while the end of daylight saving will the the same for WA as for the other states that follow daylight saving, we can expect it to begin out of step with other Australian states, and extremely late (first Sunday of December), for the next 2 years.
