AFAIK it affects nothing but the timezone. If it wanted to affect
additional things (e.g. language) it would need finer resolution than
entire timezones.
It sounds like you need a tool other than Prefs/Locale to set it, though.
Tools intended for automatic adjustment can typically be used manually as
well, but you have to be aware of just exactly what they do and don't set.
That central Australian timezone always puzzled me, anyway. There's some
justification for half- and quarter-hour timezones in small countries
where the nominal one-hour reference meridian lies completely outside the
border, but whoever decided to put the entire central part of Australia in
a half-hour zone was a pervert. :-)
