# Australia
|
|
|
|
# From John Mackin (March 6, 1991):
|
|
# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time.
|
|
# It is called `summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, `summer'
|
|
# and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the
|
|
# abbreviation does _not_ change...
|
|
# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
|
|
# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
|
|
# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
|
|
# the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight
|
|
# time'.
|
|
# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
|
|
# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time'
|
|
# or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
|
|
# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers
|
|
# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
|
|
# prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times;
|
|
# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
|
|
|
|
# From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992):
|
|
# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is:
|
|
# CST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30
|
|
# WST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00
|
|
# EST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
|
|
# Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand.
|
|
# Mark Prior <mrp@itd.adelaide.edu.au> writes that his newspaper
|
|
# reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00,
|
|
# but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970
|
|
# and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time.
|
|
# For now we'll continue to assume 2:00s for changes since 1960.

# From Arthur David Olson:

|
# New South Wales and subjurisdictions have their own ideas of a fun time.
|
|
# Based on law library research by John Mackin (john@basser.cs.su.oz),
|
|
# who notes:
|
|
# In Australia, time is not legislated federally, but rather by the
|
|
# individual states. Thus, while such terms as ``Eastern Standard Time''
|
|
# [I mean, of course, Australian EST, not any other kind] are in common
|
|
# use, _they have NO REAL MEANING_, as they are not defined in the
|
|
# legislation. This is very important to understand.

# For Lord Howe we use Shanks through its time of publication (1991).

# Lord Howe is part of NSW, so we'll guess it has used the same transition
