Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday at 3 a.m. M.
Daylight Saving Time was first introduced in New Zealand in 1927. Since then, it has been a contentious topic of discussion, with some groups pushing for permanent daylight saving time. A petition has even been launched by a group called Recover the clocks.
The main purpose of daylight saving time is to give people an extra hour to enjoy the outdoors in the evenings.
