In Brisbane the sun rises at 4:45am and sets at 6:45pm in mid-summer which IMO makes far less sense than a DST-adjusted 5:45am-7:45pm. What is the point in the sun rising so early when the vast majority of the population is asleep? Why not "transfer" that hour of daylight to the evening when people are active?
If anything, Brisbane is slightly too far east for their current timezone. I think shifting SEQ's timezone ahead half hour to GMT +10h30m would match Brisbane's longitude much better. The current solar noon is at approx 11:40am, a half hour timezone shift would bring it to 12:10pm with a corresponding shift in SR-SS times to a somewhat more logical timeframe.
