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?
It would be your state Member of Parliament. Make sure not to bother with your federal member, because they can’t do anything about it.
It might be handy to have some evidence to support your personal preferences. Here are a few:

I’m particularly a fan of the penultimate one linked there, which states:
In summary, the scientific literature strongly argues against the switching between DST and Standard Time and even more so against adopting DST permanently.
As a side note, it’s “daylight saving time”, not “savings”. The name is supposed to refer to the idea that DST somehow “saves daylight” (so it’s daylight-saving). It’s not a savings account.

Send me your postcode. I’ll go door-to-door to find out who I need to praise for such a comprehensive answer.
