39# From Alex Livingston <alex@agsm.unsw.edu.au> (1996-11-01):
40# I have heard or read more than once that some resort islands off the coast
41# of Queensland chose to keep observing daylight-saving time even after
42# Queensland ceased to.
43#
44# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22):
45# IATA SSIM (1993-02/1994-09) say that the Holiday Islands (Hayman, Lindeman,
46# Hamilton) observed DST for two years after the rest of Queensland stopped.
47# Hamilton is the largest, but there is also a Hamilton in Victoria,
48# so use Lindeman.

440# Australia
441
442# From John Mackin (1991-03-06):
443# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time.
444# It is called `summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, `summer'
445# and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the
446# abbreviation does _not_ change...
447# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
448# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
449# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
450# the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight
451# time'.
452# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
453# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time'
454# or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
455# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers
456# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
457# prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times;
458# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
459
460# From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992):
461# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is:
462# CST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30
463# WST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00
464# EST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00
465
466# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
467# Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand.
468# Mark Prior <mrp@itd.adelaide.edu.au> writes that his newspaper
469# reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00,
470# but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970
471# and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time.
472# For now we'll continue to assume 2:00s for changes since 1960.

466# Australia
467
468# From John Mackin (1991-03-06):
469# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time.
470# It is called `summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, `summer'
471# and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the
472# abbreviation does _not_ change...
473# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
474# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
475# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
476# the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight
477# time'.
478# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
479# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time'
480# or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
481# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers
482# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
483# prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times;
484# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
485
486# From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992):
487# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is:
488# CST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30
489# WST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00
490# EST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00
491
492# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
493# Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand.
494# Mark Prior <mrp@itd.adelaide.edu.au> writes that his newspaper
495# reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00,
496# but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970
497# and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time.
498# For now we'll continue to assume 2:00s for changes since 1960.
