...and, at least from a quick look at common/main/en_AU.xml in version 23 as downloaded from http://cldr.unicode.org, the "metazones" for Australia have:

			<metazone type="Australia_Central">
				<short>
					<generic>ACT</generic>
					<standard>ACST</standard>
					<daylight>ACDT</daylight>

			<metazone type="Australia_CentralWestern">

					<generic>AET</generic>
					<standard>AEST</standard>
					<daylight>AEDT</daylight>
