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 | 493 | # From John Mackin (1991-03-06): |
28f540f4 RM |
494 | # We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time. |
495 | # It is called `summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, `summer' | |
496 | # and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the | |
497 | # abbreviation does _not_ change... | |
498 | # The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least | |
499 | # in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the | |
500 | # initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses | |
501 | # the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight | |
502 | # time'. | |
503 | # Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian | |
504 | # Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time' | |
505 | # or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the | |
506 | # current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers | |
507 | # on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases | |
508 | # prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times; | |
509 | # time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC. | |
510 | ||
511 | # From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992): | |
512 | # Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is: | |

520 | # reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00, | |
521 | # but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970 | |
522 | # and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time. | |
