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

b5791037 | 482 | # From John Mackin (1991-03-06): |
28f540f4 RM |
483 | # We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time. |
484 | # It is called `summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, `summer' | |
485 | # and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the | |
486 | # abbreviation does _not_ change... | |
487 | # The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least | |
488 | # in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the | |
489 | # initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses | |
490 | # the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight | |
491 | # time'. | |
492 | # Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian | |
493 | # Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time' | |
494 | # or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the | |
495 | # current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers | |
496 | # on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases | |
497 | # prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times; | |
498 | # time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC. | |
499 | ||
500 | # From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992): | |
501 | # Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is: | |
502 | # CST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30 | |

510 | # but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970 | |
