513
514# From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992):

522# Mark Prior <mrp@itd.adelaide.edu.au> writes that his newspaper
523# reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00,
524# but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970
525# and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time.
526# And Robert Uzgalis <buz@cs.aukuni.ac.nz> says that the New Zealand Daylight
527# Savings Time Order in Council dated 1990-06-18 specifies 2:00 standard
528# time on both the first Sunday in October and the third Sunday in March.
529# For now we'll continue to assume 3:00 for changes since 1970.

617# There are lots of differences between these rules and
618# the Shepherd et al. rules. Since the Shepherd et al. rules
619# and Bradley White's newspaper article are in agreement on
620# current DST ending dates, no worries.

633# From Robert Elz (March 6, 1991):
634# I believe that the current start date for DST is "lastSun" in Oct...
635# that changed Oct 89. That is, we're back to the
636# original rule, and that rule currently applies in all the states
637# that have dst, incl Qld. (Certainly it was true in Vic).
638# The file I'm including says that happened in 1988, I think
639# that's incorrect, but I'm not 100% certain.

673# (it's just as likely to be "the Sunday we pick for this year"...).
674
675# From Bradley White (April 11, 1994):
676# If Sun, 15 March, 1992 was at +1030 as kre asserts, but yet Sun, 20 March,
677# 1994 was at +0930 as John Connolly's customer seems to assert, then I can
678# only conclude that the actual rule is more complicated....
679
680# From John Warburton <jwarb@SACBH.com.au> (1994-10-07):

753# who notes:
754# In Australia, time is not legislated federally, but rather by the
755# individual states. Thus, while such terms as ``Eastern Standard Time''
