Late entry to this thread, but...
I thought I had found an answer to this; at present I think I might have
been mistaken.
My crontab has about a dozen jobs that need to run in
TZ=America/New_York, and another dozen that ideally want
TZ=Australia/Sydney... the server default is America/Chicago.

I propose the following:
cron itself has no concept of timezone. it is 'date' that is picking up
TZ and reporting as such. Cron's job is so simple is that it wakes up each
minute to see if it has work to do, regardless of
in subsequent minutes is APPENDED to the outfile.
And now for the big DUH, I'm an idiot moment - apparently FreeBSD, Fedora and
Ubuntu don't have CRON_TZ support built in.
It's gotten to the stage where you have to be wary of what you find in external
man pages...

disqualified from doing so (that goes for anyone who wants to control
anyone else).
In sum, I double-plus unbellyfeel groupthink.
