The Australian Broadcasting Corporation is one of the best things Australia has ever created. There is no dispute about this. However, Auntie has a horrendous tumour on the side of its brain: its style for dates.

As stated in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s style guide:

Our style for dates: February 9, 1985. Abbreviate top-of-the-hour times, but write others in full: 6am, 3pm, 9:30pm, 11:58pm.

This is not on.

As described in the Australian Government style manual, the good people of the sunburnt and God-forsaken country of Australia use—and use it proudly while they’re at it—a format known as Day–Month–Year.
