Bug Description

The calendar in the menu bar of gnome-shell is not adhering to the localisation settings for Australia. The issue is displayed both in the menu bar date and within the calendar popout as well. The localisation configuration in the Settings appears to display correctly whilst the calendar in the menu bar is showing US layout. This issue appears in a minimal install of the OS. I have not tested the behaviour in a full install.

Confirmed. I am also in Australia. Although I can't tell if the correct format should be that shown in:

  Settings > Details > Date & Time > Date & Time

or

  Settings > Language and Region > Formats > Australia > Dates

or

  Settings > Language and Region > Formats > Australia > Dates & Times

They are all different.

On my fresh install, the correct date/time formatting is showing under:
