In May, Bradley White wrote that next year New South Wales will
conform to the other DST-using states of Australia for the autumn
change, but I see that this isn't reflected in the latest released
tzdata. I assume the change is still on (though with Australian
politics one never knows :-). Here is a patch.
According to the tables, the last holdout is Tasmania's spring change:
it switches the first Sunday in October instead of the last Sunday
like the others.

# From Arthur David Olson (March 8, 1992):
# Sources differ on whether DST ended March 6 or March 20 in 1988;
# March 20 (the "confirmed" date) is in the chosen rules.

+ # From Bradley White (1995-05-20):
+ # Prem Bob Carr announced NSW will fall into line with other E states
+ # and SA and continue daylight savings to the last Sun in Mar.
