The zoneinfo file I found on munnari.oz.au makes an assumption that South
Australia will follow the eastern states in moving daylight savings forward
and correspondingly, Tasmania would not. This logic is reversed and it's
actually Tasmania which will follow the other states and South Australian
which wont be changing.

I've included a diff patch which reflects these changes, please feel free to
use then as you see fit. I had confirmed the time zone information as best
as I can, including the following SA government site:

Patch to apply as follows:
