Hi Keith,

That is incomplete information, you need to specify the UTC date also.

For your timezone and that specific time, that UTC date happens to be
the same as your local timezone date, so perhaps you omitted it because
it seemed unnecessary.

However, that won't always be true for different times in your
timezone, or for other people in different timezones.

Better to advise the output of the date command, something like this:

$ date --utc --date='TZ="Australia/Melbourne" 23 Jul 2020 17:30'
Thu 23 Jul 07:30:00 UTC 2020

or this:

$ date --utc --date='23 Jul 2020 17:30 +1000'
Thu 23 Jul 07:30:00 UTC 2020
