Why Perth has its own time
Australia spans 12 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. Perth covers western australia (most areas) and is 2 hours behind Sydney, which is the zone most people mean by “the time in Australia”.
Perth does not observe daylight saving, so its offset from UTC never moves. Its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead.
