I fucking hate DST. It’s like dog diarrhoea splashed over a fat girls tiddies.

I know a lot of people hate it, surely it’s time for this moronic practice to end.

So who do I email about this? Is it my MP?

    Sorry, you’re right the science isn’t anecdotal, I didn’t mean to imply that. I was referring to the anecdotal nature of my “polling” of people in the mental health field. They all personally detested it because of the wealth of scientific evidence that you mention. The poll (in the article) just doesn’t line up with my experiences in Victoria. I could see there being a majority, as I probably do run more in circles that don’t approve of it. But an overwhelming 89% majority here? 1 in 10 opposing doesn’t seem like even close to accurate data. Unless it just happens that everyone I know is part of a vocal 11% of DST-haters.

      Oh sorry yeah, I understood how you meant it, and I didn’t mean to imply otherwise. When I brought up “anecdote vs science” it was more meant to play as a parallel to your comment, rather than a refutation. Sorry for the confusion.
