1975 Western Australian daylight saving referendum
A referendum was held on 8 March 1975 in the Australian state of Western Australia on the topic of introducing daylight saving. It was the first of four such proposals which have been put to Western Australian voters, and followed a trial over the 1974–1975 summer. The referendum failed to pass, with 53.66% voting against the proposal.
