This area of confusion is not new, by the way: The ABC could not be more or less explicit than it was in the term "Eastern Australian daylight saving time," said an official of the commission yesterday, when replying to a statement by a correspondent of The Argus, that the phrase was cumbersome.... The suggestion that the ABC should adopt the term "Eastern summer time" was unsatisfactory... -- "A B C and summer time", The Argus (Melbourne), 1942-10-07, page 5, col. 2. <http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/11999053>
