indicate that, between 1974-10-27 02:00 local and 1975-03-02 02:00 local,
Pacific/Norfolk observed Daylight Saving in the amount of one hour on top
of its normal offset of UTC+11:30; that is, the area was on UTC+12:30 for
that period.

This was introduced recently
<https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/b7aa4806bc4268427f4e8e20ad37be1dc80fb8cb>
and is documented accordingly:
