You keep missing the point, in Aust there is no such thing as DST, there is Summer Time. Eastern Summer Time and Central Summer Time (no Western...)
Why does everyone call it that, then? http://www.safework.sa.gov.au/show_page.jsp?id=2675 http://www.communityrelations.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/cru/daylight.html http://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/LZ/C/A/DAYLIGHT%20SAVING%20ACT%201971.aspx Also... http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/maintop/view/inforce/act+149+1987+cd+0+N Oops, I guess it should be NSWST (for New South Wales Standard/Summer Time), not EST. I'd think that with your insistence on only following state law, that therefore you should support the "abandon the status quo" option along with the rest of us (and then you can support NSWT or NSWST or whatever in the "what now?" vote after) Still one acronym year-round, but at least there wouldn't be any confusion against the timezone described here: http://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/LEGISLTN/CURRENT/S/StandTimeA1894.pdf ...which isn't called Eastern Standard Time either.
