5342742Swollman# Australia
5352742Swollman
5362742Swollman# From John Mackin (March 6, 1991):
5372742Swollman# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time.
5382742Swollman# It is called `summer' time.  Now by a happy coincidence, `summer'
5392742Swollman# and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the
5402742Swollman# abbreviation does _not_ change...
5412742Swollman# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
5422742Swollman# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
5432742Swollman# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
5442742Swollman# the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight
5452742Swollman# time'.
5462742Swollman# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
5472742Swollman# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time'
5482742Swollman# or `Eastern Summer Time'.  (Note, though, that as I say in the
5492742Swollman# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.)  Announcers
5502742Swollman# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
5512742Swollman# prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times;
5522742Swollman# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
5532742Swollman
5542742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992):
5552742Swollman# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is:
5562742Swollman#	CST	for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30
5572742Swollman#	WST	for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00
5582742Swollman#	EST	for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00
5592742Swollman
56014343Swollman# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
5619908Swollman# Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand.
5629908Swollman# Mark Prior <mrp@itd.adelaide.edu.au> writes that his newspaper
5639908Swollman# reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00,
5649908Swollman# but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970
5659908Swollman# and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time.
56614343Swollman# For now we'll continue to assume 2:00s for changes since 1960.

5852742Swollman# #						[ Nov 1990 ]
5862742Swollman# #	W.A. suffers from a great deal of public and political opposition to
