[dba-Tech] OT: Change from DST

In Australian which had three main time zones,  five of the eight states and territories use 
DST (New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and Australian Capital 
Terrritory) , the other three stay the same all year round.  (Queensland, Western Australia 
and the Norther Territories - the three which are part tropical).

Oh, and just to confuse things more - Broken Hill, which is in NSW, operates year round on 
SA time, not NSW time.
