# Australia
|
|
|
|
# From John Mackin (March 6, 1991):
|
|
# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time.
|
|
# It is called `summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, `summer'
|
|
# and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the
|
|
# abbreviation does _not_ change...
|
|
# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
|
|
# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
|
|
# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
|
|
# the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight
|
|
# time'.
|
|
# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
|
|
# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time'
|
|
# or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
|
|
# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers
|
|
# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
|
|
# prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times;
|
|
# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
|
|
|
|
# From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992):
|
|
# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is:
|
|
# CST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30
|
|
# WST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00
|
|
# EST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00

|
|
# # W.A. suffers from a great deal of public and political opposition to
