In case this hasn't been reported yet: The New Zealand Government has just extended the period that Daylight Savings applies for in New Zealand. It will now be from the last Sunday in Sept through first Sunday in April. See: http://www.dia.govt.nz/diawebsite.nsf/wpg_URL/Services-Daylight-Saving-Index...
