These four links talk about DST as a possibility in Queensland and West
Australia:

The status quo at the moment seems to be that Queensland will stay with no
DST, while West Australia is likely to approve a three year trial, beginning
DST December 1, 2006, outside the schedule of any other state of Australia
(mainland states that use DST are in-synch, while Tasmania and Lord Howe
Island have their own variations of DST). There are apparently two bills
which might be merged into one. 

Anyways, for the moment there are no definitive decisions yet, although it
seems an individual count of MPs votes in West Australia favor the approval
of the new DST. Stay tuned!
