It is possible to show local time by creating custom error messages, but 
since the internet is a global network it makes the most sense
to show times in UTC so I never bothered to change it on my proxy servers.

It makes no difference if the poms are in daylight savings or
not - UTC always stays the same, which is why it is so useful as a
reference for all other timezones.

Just add 8 hours to the UTC time and you will get Perth time.
