Today the Guardian Express of Perth reported that the government of Western Australia has decided to advance the clocks permanently from +0800 to +0900 on January 1, 2019. Presumably the time will still be called Australian Western Standard Time (AWST), as it will still differ by 30 minutes from ACST (+0930). For now, I suppose we should guess that Australia/Eucla will simultaneously switch from +0845 to +0915 so as to stay halfway between AWST and ACST.
