So does Newfoundland, Norfolk Island, N Korea, Pitcairn Islands, Marquesas Islands, Sri Lanka...
Because the government says so. Notice how the whole country has to be on Beijing time?

Yeah, this morning I sent a proposal to an outfit in Adelaide. No rush to get it out and it was there before start-of-business.
Or maybe it was a day late.

There are quarter-hour offset time zones, too.
- Eucla Australia is UTC +8:45
- Chatham Islands, New Zealand is UTC +12:45
- Nepal is UTC +5:45
Alaska only has one time zone, where it should have something like seven. Governments do things like that. ;-)
How many in the US?

Australia is about the size of the continental US. (at about the same latitude)

And has one fewer time zones.

** Most state also have a 1 hour offset for "daylight saving".
That is how you see a 3 hour change from east to west coast - in winter it is only 2 hours.
Beware: Qld, NSW and Vic are all on the east coast, but Qld dos not have daylight saving time so there is a 1 hour offset in summer.
** Many as that ?.... Phil
That's unofficial but nobody objects. It's halfway between WA and SA timezones, recognising where it sits in sidereal terms. Several roadhouses in that area on Highway 1 (Nullarbor Highway) do the same.
Well yeah, but time zones are meaningless when your day lasts three months.

There is a DST revolution brewing here. I hope it works.
China is timeless.
