They were committed in zoneinfo/australasia 1.26 last August. It was MFC'd to 5.x immediately and to 6.x in December. If you want silliness: - The South Australian Act covering DST is different to the actual rules and so has to be over-ridden by regulation every year. - Broken Hill (County of Yancowinna) follows SA time but is part of NSW so the time is defined by NSW legislation - which has to therefore define SA time without any reference to the SA leglislation. -- Peter Jeremy
