so, are there /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/ files for this
bit of silliness?

They were committed in zoneinfo/australasia 1.26 last August. It was
MFC'd to 5.x immediately and to 6.x in December.

If you want silliness:
- The South Australian Act covering DST is different to the actual rules and
so has to be over-ridden by regulation every year.
- Broken Hill (County of Yancowinna) follows SA time but is part of NSW so
the time is defined by NSW legislation - which has to therefore define
SA time without any reference to the SA leglislation.
