Daylight Saving Public Attitude SurveyThe Department of Internal Affairs commissioned Research New Zealand, an independent research company, to undertake a public attitude survey into the extension to Daylight Saving. This was the first survey conducted on Daylight Saving since 1985. Research New Zealand surveyed 1,006 members of the public, and 494 dairy farmers. The survey was conducted between 8 and 29 April 2008 (following the end of Daylight Saving).
