There is a fresh push for daylight saving to return to Queensland for the first time in 30 years next summer.
With clocks in other states winding back an hour on Sunday, Queensland will again be on the same time as the rest of the eastern seaboard until October.
However, a leading daylight saving advocate has called for a new trial of the program to coincide with Queensland's first four-year government.

Doctor Thomas Sigler, a senior lecturer in human geography at the University of Queensland and a key figure in the Daylight Saving For South-East Queensland advocacy group, said the political sting could be taken out of the debate if the government was prepared to trial the initiative again for the first time since the 1992 referendum.
