Western Australia moving to Daylight Saving Time

The Inquirer reports that Western Australia is introducing Daylight Saving Time for a trial period of three years on December 3rd. System administrators and farmers – among others, presumably – are not happy.

For gory details have a look at the Government of Western Australia’s Daylight Saving Bill (No.2) 2006 itself.

It’s unusual for a developed country to announce changes to time zone legislation with such little lead time; sysadmins really will be scrambling.

FoxClocks users needn’t fret, however. If you’ve enabled automatic updates in FoxClocks 2.0, you’ll pick up the Western Australian change before it goes into effect.
