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 - -# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19): -# Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand. -# Mark Prior <mrp@itd.adelaide.edu.au> writes that his newspaper -# reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00, -# but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970 -# and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time. -# For now we'll continue to assume 2:00s for changes since 1960. - -# From Eric Ulevik <eau@zip.com.au> (1998-01-05): -# -# Here are some URLs to Australian time legislation.
