Re: West Australia Daylight Saving Warning
You guys in the East have missed the classic comments on talkback radio over here in Perth.
Honestly, it is like living in the land of the shared brain cell. "Kids won't be able to sleep at night" (but they never complain about the fact that before daylight savings they seemed to sleep through it being light at 5am); ""Confused cows" "Who will cook the dinner if the wife is on the beach having a good time because of the light evenings" (said by an MP). "My children will have to get on the bus at 6.15am now"
It's been cringe worthy.

This also causes meetings to show as the wrong time for a week next year once the patch is removed. The problem is that outlook copes with people having meetings in different timezones and whether they are on daylight saving automatically so changing anything in this can confuse it when the meeting was booked prior to the patch being applied .

How about, 'I must think ahead and liaise with the IT department', but then that would command a prior bit of planning.
