43 | # I have heard or read more than once that some resort islands off the coast | |
44 | # of Queensland chose to keep observing daylight-saving time even after | |
45 | # Queensland ceased to. | |
46 | # | |
47 | # From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22): | |
48 | # IATA SSIM (1993-02/1994-09) say that the Holiday Islands (Hayman, Lindeman, | |
49 | # Hamilton) observed DST for two years after the rest of Queensland stopped. | |
50 | # Hamilton is the largest, but there is also a Hamilton in Victoria, | |
51 | # so use Lindeman. | |

b5791037 | 514 | # From John Mackin (1991-03-06): |
28f540f4 RM |
515 | # We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time. |
516 | # It is called `summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, `summer' | |
517 | # and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the | |
518 | # abbreviation does _not_ change... | |
519 | # The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least | |
520 | # in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the | |
521 | # initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses | |
522 | # the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight | |
523 | # time'. | |
524 | # Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian | |
525 | # Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time' | |
526 | # or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the | |
527 | # current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers | |
528 | # on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases | |
529 | # prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times; | |
530 | # time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC. | |
531 | ||
532 | # From Arthur David Olson (March 8 1992): | |
533 | # Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is: | |

542 | # but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970 | |
543 | # and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time. | |

958 | # From Paul Eggert (1996-01-22): | |
959 | # Today's _Wall Street Journal_ (p 1) reports that ``Tonga has been plotting | |
960 | # to sneak ahead of [New Zealanders] by introducing daylight-saving time.'' | |
961 | # Since Kiribati has moved the Date Line it's not clear what Tonga will do. | |

965 | # How Tonga became `The Land where Time Begins' | |
966 | # </a>: | |
967 | ||
968 | # Until 1941 Tonga maintained a standard time 50 minutes ahead of NZST | |
969 | # 12 hours and 20 minutes ahead of GMT. When New Zealand adjusted its | |
970 | # standard time in 1940s, Tonga had the choice of subtracting from its | |
971 | # local time to come on the same standard time as New Zealand or of | |
972 | # advancing its time to maintain the differential of 13 degrees | |
973 | # (approximately 50 minutes ahead of New Zealand time). | |
974 | # | |
975 | # Because His Majesty King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, then Crown Prince | |
976 | # Tungi, preferred to ensure Tonga's title as the land where time | |
977 | # begins, the Legislative Assembly approved the latter change. | |
978 | # | |
979 | # But some of the older, more conservative members from the outer | |
980 | # islands objected. "If at midnight on Dec. 31, we move ahead 40 | |
a7123f0e | 981 | # minutes, as your Royal Highness wishes, what becomes of the 40 |
38c097ca UD |
982 | # minutes we have lost?" |
983 | # | |
984 | # The Crown Prince, presented an unanswerable argument: "Remember that | |
985 | # on the World Day of Prayer, you would be the first people on Earth | |
986 | # to say your prayers in the morning." | |

988 | # From Paul Eggert (1999-08-12): | |
989 | # Shanks says the transition was on 1968-10-01; go with Mundell. | |

991 | # From Eric Ulevik (1999-05-03): | |
992 | # Tonga's director of tourism, who is also secretary of the National Millenium | |
993 | # Committee, has a plan to get Tonga back in front. | |
994 | # He has proposed a one-off move to tropical daylight saving for Tonga from | |
995 | # October to March, which has won approval in principle from the Tongan | |
996 | # Government. | |

1006 | # I have not been able to find exact dates for the transition in November | |
