  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.

 448 # From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-11-22):
 449 # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is

 452 #
 453 # Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source
 454 # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
 455 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
 456 # published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
 457 # of the IATA's data after 1990.

 459 # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990,
 460 # and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.

 491 # Australia
 492
 493 # From John Mackin (1991-03-06):
 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:
 513 #       CST     for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30
 514 #       WST     for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00
 515 #       EST     for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00
 516
 517 # From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
 518 # Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand.
 519 # Mark Prior <mrp@itd.adelaide.edu.au> writes that his newspaper
 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.
 523 # For now we'll continue to assume 2:00s for changes since 1960.

 763 # From Arthur David Olson:
 764 # New South Wales and subjurisdictions have their own ideas of a fun time.
 765 # Based on law library research by John Mackin (john@basser.cs.su.oz),
 766 # who notes:
 767 #       In Australia, time is not legislated federally, but rather by the
 768 #       individual states.  Thus, while such terms as ``Eastern Standard Time''
 769 #       [I mean, of course, Australian EST, not any other kind] are in common
 770 #       use, _they have NO REAL MEANING_, as they are not defined in the
 771 #       legislation.  This is very important to understand.
