I have requested NewsRadio to cease using "eastern summer time" and instead use the official term "eastern daylight time" (AEDT) to avoid confusion down the track with "eastern standard time" (AEST) that's in use in QLD all year round.<br /><br />No way, was the retort from Ultimo-land.

Announcers Tracee H, Sandy A and others blithely - nay, ignorantly - use the full misspeak "Australian eastern summer time" in national and international programs.
