FW: More daylight savings in Australia
I'm forwarding this message from Susan Johnson, who is on the time zone mailing list at a different address than the one shown below. --ado -----Original Message----- From: Johnson, Susan [mailto:Susan.Johnson@kronos.com] Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 8:39 To: tz@lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: RE: More daylight savings in Australia Folks, Do we have any official word on what will happen in Western/Southern Australia and when? My Australian office tells me that it now looks like South Australia, NSW, ACT, Victoria, and Tasmania DST changes will occur the first Sunday in April 2008 - instead of the first Sunday in October 2007. All changes are permanent except for South Australia, which will undergo a 'trial' change. --Sue Susan Johnson Manager, Customer Engineering Product Management Kronos Incorporated p: (978) 947-4342 f: (978) 367-5818 www.kronos.com Experts at Improving the Performance of People and Business(tm) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Eggert [mailto:eggert@CS.UCLA.EDU] Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 4:12 AM To: tz@lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Re: More daylight savings in Australia "Eric Ulevik" <eulevik@gmail.com> writes:
Thanks for the heads-up. Today's Sydney Morning Herald reports that South Australia and the Northern Territory (!) may sign up later, but that Western Australia and Queensland will not be involved. Perhaps we should wait a bit to see who falls into line. Also, the SMH says only "it is believed" the dates are as you mentioned. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2007/04/12/1175971265494.html This is currently listed as the #4 most-viewed article on the Sydney Morning Herald web site.

Yes, that matches my understanding as well. Here are some changes that I plan to put into my next proposed set. These aren't "official" yet (as if anything in tz were "official" :-) but should give you a heads-up. --- australasia 2007/05/07 14:46:15 2007.6 +++ australasia 2007/07/23 23:23:07 @@ -79,7 +79,7 @@ Zone Australia/Lindeman 9:55:56 - LMT 1 # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule AS 1971 1985 - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - Rule AS 1986 only - Oct 19 2:00s 1:00 - -Rule AS 1987 max - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - +Rule AS 1987 2007 - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - Rule AS 1972 only - Feb 27 2:00s 0 - Rule AS 1973 1985 - Mar Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - Rule AS 1986 1989 - Mar Sun>=15 2:00s 0 - @@ -90,7 +90,9 @@ Rule AS 1993 only - Mar Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - Rule AS 1994 only - Mar Sun>=18 2:00s 0 - Rule AS 1995 2005 - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - Rule AS 2006 only - Apr Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - -Rule AS 2007 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - +Rule AS 2007 only - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - +Rule AS 2008 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - +Rule AS 2008 max - Oct Sun>=1 2:00s 1:00 - # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Australia/Adelaide 9:14:20 - LMT 1895 Feb 9:00 - CST 1899 May @@ -121,7 +123,8 @@ Rule AT 1991 2005 - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 Rule AT 2000 only - Aug lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - Rule AT 2001 max - Oct Sun>=1 2:00s 1:00 - Rule AT 2006 only - Apr Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - -Rule AT 2007 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - +Rule AT 2007 only - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - +Rule AT 2008 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Australia/Hobart 9:49:16 - LMT 1895 Sep 10:00 - EST 1916 Oct 1 2:00 @@ -145,9 +148,11 @@ Rule AV 1988 1999 - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1: Rule AV 1991 1994 - Mar Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - Rule AV 1995 2005 - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - Rule AV 2000 only - Aug lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - -Rule AV 2001 max - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - +Rule AV 2001 2007 - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - Rule AV 2006 only - Apr Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - -Rule AV 2007 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - +Rule AV 2007 only - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - +Rule AV 2008 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - +Rule AV 2008 max - Oct Sun>=1 2:00s 1:00 - # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Australia/Melbourne 9:39:52 - LMT 1895 Feb 10:00 Aus EST 1971 @@ -166,9 +171,11 @@ Rule AN 1987 1999 - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1: Rule AN 1990 1995 - Mar Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - Rule AN 1996 2005 - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - Rule AN 2000 only - Aug lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - -Rule AN 2001 max - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - +Rule AN 2001 2007 - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - Rule AN 2006 only - Apr Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - -Rule AN 2007 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - +Rule AN 2007 only - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - +Rule AN 2008 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - +Rule AN 2008 max - Oct Sun>=1 2:00s 1:00 - # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Australia/Sydney 10:04:52 - LMT 1895 Feb 10:00 Aus EST 1971 @@ -191,9 +198,11 @@ Rule LH 1987 1999 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0:3 Rule LH 1990 1995 - Mar Sun>=1 2:00 0 - Rule LH 1996 2005 - Mar lastSun 2:00 0 - Rule LH 2000 only - Aug lastSun 2:00 0:30 - -Rule LH 2001 max - Oct lastSun 2:00 0:30 - +Rule LH 2001 2007 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0:30 - Rule LH 2006 only - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 0 - -Rule LH 2007 max - Mar lastSun 2:00 0 - +Rule LH 2007 only - Mar lastSun 2:00 0 - +Rule LH 2008 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 0 - +Rule LH 2008 max - Oct Sun>=1 2:00 0:30 - Zone Australia/Lord_Howe 10:36:20 - LMT 1895 Feb 10:00 - EST 1981 Mar 10:30 LH LHST
Is there an estimate yet for when a set containing these changes might be be released? Thanks, Deborah On Jul 23, 2007, at 4:46 PM, Paul Eggert wrote:

Regarding changes to Australia daylight savings, the NSW legislation will come before parliament in September 2007, and hopefully be passed without changes. http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/Corporate/ll_agdinfo.nsf/pages/communi... Regards, Eric Ulevik
