Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? π°οΈ
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

-
57.6% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below
