34: # New South Wales and subjurisdictions have their own ideas of a fun time.
35: # Based on law library research by John Mackin ([email protected]),
36: # who notes:
37: # In Australia, time is not legislated federally, but rather by the
38: # individual states. Thus, while such terms as ``Eastern Standard Time''
39: # [I mean, of course, Australian EST, not any other kind] are in common
40: # use, _they have NO REAL MEANING_, as they are not defined in the
41: # legislation. This is very important to understand.
42: # I have researched New South Wales time only; . . .I hope that perhaps a
43: # resident of each state could be found to do it for their own state.
44: # (And I can guarantee that Victoria and NSW are different, so the link
45: # between them in the current australasia file must be broken.)
46:
47: # From Robert Elz (May 5, 1989):
48: #
49: # From next year (1990) NSW will revert to ending DST on the 1st
50: # Sunday in March (rather than the third, which it appears will
51: # continue to be what everyone else uses).
