We are simply trying to get the daylight savings abbreviations changed to what is *actually* used in Australia. Macquarie Island in the IANA time zone database is AQ and not Australia.
Macquarie island is part of Australia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macquarie_Island
In Wikipedia, not in the IANA time zone database.

AQ -5430+15857 Antarctica/Macquarie Macquarie Island Station, Macquarie Island
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macquarie_Island categorized as belonging to Tasmania, which in turn is given as part of Australia. What is the reason to have Macquarie Island as AQ Antartica in the IANA time zone database? -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com
