I'm afraid that doesn't follow.  One can easily find disagreements
with the contents of those links.  For example, you gave a link to the
NSW Dept of Attorney General & Justice saying that in summer, eastern time
is abbreviated "AEDT".  But that very web page also says, in another
place, that the abbreviation is "EDST".  So this single source contradicts
the assertion that abbreviations are consistently used by the NSW
government.

Here's that URL again:

And the EDST-related quote from that page:

"Daylight saving or summer time is commonly expressed as EDST (Eastern Daylight Saving Time)."
