This proved unpopular, so the <i>Summer Time Act 1928</i> revised this to a <i>half</i>-hour shift from 14 October 1928 (second Sunday) to 17 March 1929 (third Sunday), then the <i>Summer Time Act 1929</i> permanently fixed this half-hour shift to run from the second Sunday in October to the third Sunday in March every year. In 1933, the period was extended from the first Sunday in September to the last Sunday in April. This continued until the Second World War, when emergency regulations in 1941 extended daylight saving to cover the whole year with annual re-applications until the <i>Standard Time Act 1945</i> made the abandonment of NZMT permanent in 1946, so that 180° becomes the base longitude and what was called NZ Summer Time (NZST) became NZ Standard Time. </p><p>The <i>Time Act 1974</i> empowered the <a href="/wiki/Governor-General_of_New_Zealand" title="Governor-General of New Zealand">governor-general</a> to declare by <a href="/wiki/Order_in_Council" title="Order in Council">Order in Council</a> a period when daylight saving time is to be observed.<sup id="cite_ref-1974Act_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1974Act-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This was a one-hour shift (on top of the earlier half-hour shift) from the first Sunday in November to the last Sunday in February, promptly changed the next year by The New Zealand Time Order 1975 which fixed the period of observance from the last Sunday in October to the first Sunday in March. </p><p>In 1985 a comprehensive survey was undertaken by the Department of Internal Affairs. Public attitudes towards NZDT (New Zealand Daylight Time) and its effects on work, recreation and particular groups of people in society were surveyed. The survey indicated that 76.2% of the population wanted NZDT either continued or extended.<sup id="cite_ref-Pearce2017_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pearce2017-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Abaconda_leigh_farm.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Abaconda_leigh_farm.jpg/220px-Abaconda_leigh_farm.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="330" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Abaconda_leigh_farm.jpg/330px-Abaconda_leigh_farm.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Abaconda_leigh_farm.jpg/440px-Abaconda_leigh_farm.jpg 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="900" /></a><figcaption>The strongest opposition to DST has traditionally come from dairy farmers<sup id="cite_ref-ararua_time_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ararua_time-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> due to disrupted schedules and shorter working times.</figcaption></figure> <p>The survey also concluded that opinion on the topic differed little between sexes, and that support for NZDT was generally higher in <a href="/wiki/Urban_areas_of_New_Zealand" title="Urban areas of New Zealand">urban centres</a>.

Support for shortening or abolishing NZDT was always in the minority in the areas surveyed. </p><p>As a consequence of the survey and further feedback from the public, in 1988 the Minister of Internal Affairs arranged for a trial period of extended NZDT to be held from the second Sunday in October 1989 to the third Sunday in March 1990. The Minister invited the public to write to him with their views on the five-week extension.<sup id="cite_ref-Pearce2017_15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pearce2017-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <i>Daylight Time Order 1990</i> declared that NZDT would run from 02:00 NZST on the first Sunday in October to 03:00 NZDT on the third Sunday in March.<sup id="cite_ref-DIA_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DIA-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On 30 April 2007 the government announced that it had extended the daylight saving period from 24 to 27 weeks.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> From September 2007, daylight saving is now observed from the last Sunday in September until the first Sunday in April.

The extreme geographic position of the base means that no possible adjustment of the daily activity cycle can have any effect on the amount of sunlight received during those activities.
