In case this hasn't been reported yet: The New Zealand Government has 
just extended the period that Daylight Savings applies for in New 
Zealand.  It will now be from the last Sunday in Sept through first 
Sunday in April.  See:

Which leads to the following change to the australasia file I believe:
