Brisbane’s Lord Mayor has turned up the heat on the daylight saving debate, backing calls to bring Queensland up to speed. 

Adrian Schrinner told The Sunday Mail declaring a winding back of the clocks would pass should the issue go to a referendum.

“Sooner or later, it will happen,” he told Sofie Formica.

Lord Mayor Schrinner pointed out 60 per cent south-east Queenslanders were for daylight saving at the last referendum.

“More and more people, particularly those who have moved interstate, … think it’s fantastic.

“If people got the opportunity to have a say, I think it’s inevitable it will get up.”
