I echo Ronni's comments. Made sure that was done after the referendum and have had no problem but still get a giggle out of the poor ole windoze mob.

Interesting Ronni,


I just did what you suggest below and see that I have a set date and time set to automatically and the zone is Europe.

Still it tells me the correct time and I am in the correct time zone.

What ain't broke I won't fix. Better not meddle with politics is my suggestion to Apple!

Seems widespread in Windows PCs as well .. quite a few people have
mentioned it in freecycle cafe today.

Apple put daylight savings for WA in for 3 years until the referendum, Microsoft assumed it would be permanent. Your Mac shouldn't be observing DST. Does your Date and Time control panel think you're in the Perth timezone?

Have fun,
Shay

Hi Barb,

Check System Preferences > Date & Time
Under Date & Time - do you have "Set Date & Time Automatically" ticked, & "Apple Asia (time.asia.apple.com)"?
Under Time Zone (as Shay has mentioned) Perth-Australia


Cheers,
Ronni
