this looks like i made it up but it's the time zone map for australia. yes, time zones should be divided by longitude, not latitude, but australia has done both, in the most annoying way possible (by adding half hours)

@drewtoothpaste that map is during summer. The particular lunacy is because some states have daylight savings (eg those South-East ones) and some do not (eg the North-East one).

Also, annoyingly, Western Australia doesn't do daylight savings either, so sometimes I'm 3 hours away from my family there and sometimes 2 hours.

@drewtoothpaste it is in fact only three time zones in winter, which makes a lot more sense.

But whether we all keep it or all ditch it, I wish we'd bloody standardise, because it's a pain in the arse having the time change between states!
