As of Sunday, Australia has five time zones (ignore Alison - she's in Sydney, and they have trouble realising that Australia reaches north of Newcastle).

In Queensland, we live in the real world and are still on Eastern Standard Time.

New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania are one hour ahead of us (without going into the moral of psychological debate over this) because they are now on Daylight Saving Time (also known as Daylight Raving Time or Southern Plastic Time).

South Australia, which is normally half an hour behind us on Central Australian Time, is now half an hour ahead.

The Northern Territory, is still on Central Australian Time, and is still half an hour (and fifty years) behind us.

Western Australia is still on its normal time, two hours behind us.
