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. 499 500# Northern Territory 501 502# From George Shepherd via Simon Woodhead via Robert Elz (1991-03-06): 503# # The NORTHERN TERRITORY..
