Which is the earlier time: 18:00:00 Australia/Melbourne, or 03:00:00
America/New_York? If you add a date to it, you could get an aware
datetime that represents an exact instant, and compare them. Can you
compare them, as they are? Is it reliable?

This is nothing to do with timedelta versus datetime. It's to do with
attaching timezone information to a dateless time.
