A story in the July 3 ABC News (Australia) says that the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) will change its daylight-saving rules starting October, to bring it into line with Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. Until now, I didn't know that the ACT had different rules from its neighbors. I guess this means we'll need to add a new Zone Australia/Canberra to deal with the discrepancy?

A programing glitch resulted in computers and mobile phones across Australia's south eastern states changing over from daylight saving to standard time, a week too early. So they changed it in reality, but the legislation had not caught up with it. Edwin
