Daylight Saving for South East Queensland was created in 2008.
One difference is that Queensland is the only eastern state that does not observe daylight saving time in summer.
Queensland was the first state to reject daylight saving, and as a result, has been subject to many ill-informed jokes and derogatory comments about why Queenslanders rejected daylight saving. It should be noted that Western Australia has also now turned its back on daylight saving, after a trial of several years.
Queensland and New South Wales are both in the Eastern Time Zone, but New South Wales observes daylight saving time and Queensland does not, so from the 1st Sun. of Oct. until the 1st Sun. of April Canberra is one hour ahead of Queensland.
South Queensland Crushers was created in 1995.

In 1917, daylight savings was introduced across the Australia to save fuel during war time, however strong public opposition saw it abandoned the same year. Daylight savings was introduced again in across Australia for the same reasons in 1942 and 1943-44, but ceased after World War II. Queensland, along with all the other mainland Australian states adopted a trial of Daylight Saving in 1971. It proved to be just that - a trial - for many Queenslanders and they did not continue with it the next spring unlike the rest of the states. 1989-91 Queensland ran another trial of daylight savings. In 1992, the Queensland Summer Time Act was the subject of a referendum where Queenslanders voted 54.5% against daylight savings.

Depending on daylight saving in either Australia or the US, and in which part of the continent one is in, it is either Sunday or Monday. For example, if one is in Brisbane, Queensland in October, 10am on Monday morning is the equivalent of midnight on Sunday evening in whatever part of the States WikiAnswers is based, as that is when the day on the site changes. That time will change elsewhere in Australia as Queensland does not follow summer daylight saving time.
