Here are some links on Australian abbreviations. It is difficult for
tell what is current usage (e.g. see the first two links). If the
Australian government thinks that it is important to stop the
confusion it would likely find an effective way to convince the
people in Australia about that. I don't think that it is a good idea
for the Olson database to dictate what the people within Australian should do.
