KEY POINTS:
SYDNEY - Daylight saving began this weekend in New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and South and Western Australia, with clocks going forward one hour.
Tasmanians stole a march on the rest of the country when they put their clocks forward on October 7, while Queensland and the Northern Territory remain stubbornly opposed to daylight saving at any time.
While the NSW government has just passed legislation to extend daylight saving by four weeks, West Australians have rejected it in three referendums.
