I suppose at the end of the day who would know if you or someone else had changed the plugs, i think all this crap about not being able to change a frigging plug is so they can point the finger at people if anything goes wrong

I've just found this for Victoria http://www.ocei.vic.gov.au/downloads/COPJan2004.pdf

which states
"The Regulations DO permit unlicensed persons to connect plugs to their own electrical cords. However, the use of ready made extension cords is encouraged as they may be safer than home wired ones. An incorrectly wired
plug can be fatal."

No need to apologise - no offense caused.

At least you prompted me to get off my bum and find the info - which means I don't have to worry about the Spanish Inquisition anymore :D

Hi Pete
Just a handy hint (and reading this thread, don't know if this is illegal or not!) but we brought a couple of english gang sockets with us. When we got here, we just had the plug on the end of the gand socket to change.
