Daylight Savings Time has been in effect since the Standard Time Act in 1918, meaning we have been using it for ninety-three (93) years.
There was no daylight saving time that long ago.
The goal of implementing a year-long daylight savings time during the oil embargo was to conserve energy. By extending daylight hours in the evenings, it was thought that less artificial lighting would be needed, resulting in reduced energy consumption. This was seen as a way to alleviate the impact of the oil shortage during the embargo.
Since 1887
The energy savings of extended Daylight Savings Time in modern society are questionable. The energy for lighting tends to move to the morning, used by those who must rise well before the adjusted hour of dawn during the winter. During the summer, energy savings used to come from all the extra outdoor activity that was done in the long evenings before sunset, but with so much of our activity now done indoors, the savings may be lost to the costs of air conditioning residences after work in a hotter part of the day. There is a concern regarding the safety of children walking to school or waiting for a bus in the winter before dawn because of the adjusted time, especially in the more northerly parts of the country.
He didn't; he just advocated that people should get up earlier in the summer to make more use of the daylight hours. The idea of daylight saving time, ie changing the time shown on clocks, is generally credited to Englishman William Willett (1856-1915), although New Zealander George Hudson has also been credited with the idea. Willett campaigned long and hard for daylight saving time in Britain, and it was eventually introduced in that country in 1916, primarily to reduce the use of coal during the First World War.

First, it depends how long it will take you to get to NZ, second, it also depends on whether NZ has had daylight savings (putting the clock an hour forward). But, when daylight saving is in effect, the time difference is 12 hours. So if it were 4:15pm then it would be 4:15am in New Zealand.
