415 | ||
416 | # From John Mackin (March 6, 1991): | |
417 | # We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time. | |
418 | # It is called `summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, `summer' | |
419 | # and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the | |
420 | # abbreviation does _not_ change... | |
421 | # The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least | |
422 | # in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the | |
423 | # initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses | |
424 | # the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight | |
425 | # time'. | |
426 | # Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian | |
427 | # Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time' | |
428 | # or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the | |
429 | # current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers | |
430 | # on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases | |
431 | # prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times; | |
432 | # time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC. | |
433 | ||
434 | # From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992): | |
435 | # Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is: | |
436 | # CST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30 | |
437 | # WST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00 | |
438 | # EST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00 | |
439 | ||
440 | # From Paul Eggert (November 8, 1994): | |
441 | # Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand. | |
442 | # Mark Prior <mrp@itd.adelaide.edu.au> writes that his newspaper | |
443 | # reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00, | |
444 | # but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970 | |
445 | # and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time. | |
446 | # And Robert Uzgalis <buz@cs.aukuni.ac.nz> says that the New Zealand Daylight | |
447 | # Savings Time Order in Council dated 1990-06-18 specifies 2:00 standard | |
448 | # time on both the first Sunday in October and the third Sunday in March. | |
449 | # For now we'll continue to assume 3:00 for changes since 1970. | |
