Why the difference changes (or does not)
Sydney observes daylight saving from roughly October to early April. Bangladesh does not observe daylight saving time, so Bangladesh Standard Time stays at GMT+6 every day of the year. That means every clock change in Sydney shifts the gap between the two cities by one hour, and the two tables above show the conversion for each state.
