I will point out that "you Australians", and, well, "us 'mericans", are
the only countries without the sense to choose unique conventions for
time zone names.

It sounds like having a second lookup table for the Australian rules is
a possibility, and this sounds fairly reasonable to me. Btw, is there an
Australian convention for referring to North American time zones for
those zones with naming conflicts?
