EVALUATION In the regression test, the static SimpleDateFormat instance must be created after setting the default time zone to Australia/Sydney. SimpleDateFormat.parse tries the embedded time zone first. The static SimpleDateFormat has America/New_York which has "EST" as the abbreviation for the standard time.
