In 1967,Tasmania experienced a drought The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water.Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968.Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government,all stales except two passed a law in 1971,for a test use of daylight savjye.aig.In 1972,New South Wales.South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmanian for regular daylight saving.jye.ai Queensland did not do so until 1989.
