Hi Tom,

The only two approaches I can think of are :

a) Make the regression tests run in the GMT timezone (+0, no DST, etc) and 
have the expected results also be in GMT.

or 

b) Have an alternate set of results available for the timestamp and horology 
tests, automatically used when the regression tests are run with 
USE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES.

What do you think?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
