Hi I have two flights in openflights that are showing different flight durations when they are the same distance not crossing any time zone (both in AEST)

BNE to CNS flight 13:30 to 15:55
CNS to BNE flight 12:40 to 14:55

Why does it say that BNE to CNS is 3 hours and 25 minutes and CNS to BNE is 1 hour and 15 minutes when they are both the same time?
(give or take 10 minutes)

Has this happened to anyone else?
Does anyone know how to fix it?

That is a strange one.... both are direct flights?

Yup and I have done the time calculation in my head BNE-CNS should be 2:25 and CNS-BNE should be 2:15 so they are both wrong, I have also had BNE-HBA say it was an extra hour but its explainable by daylight savings I have no clue why this one is messed up any ideas would be appreciated
 
You can manually adjust the arrival time, it is only an estimate based on distance. Definitely looks like a summer time thing, although in the current openflights database CNS and BNE are both registered under the same "Australia/Brisbane" timezone. I can't replicate it on openflights, it comes up as 2:13 each direction. Are you using the AFF flight tracker version? It might be using a slightly outdated database.
 
Using the AFF version and when I change the flight time it changes the arrival time
