Re: Changing plugs
Sorry gents, I didn't make it clear enough.
Below was a quote from another poster way back in 2004.
Seems the plug subject get's the pulse racing.
"So far all I've heard is opinion. That includes mine, my Aussie neighbours, yours and others on this site.
So far there doesn't seem to be ANY FACTUAL EVIDENCE.....to suggest it's illegal to change plugs here in Australia.
Unless of course you can prove to the contrary i.e stating legislation.....that it's illegal to change plugs in Australia.....In which case I shall apologise profoundly"

Re: Changing plugs
Which bit of the posts on here are you missing?
In Queensland if you change the plugs yourself and there is subsequently a fire, your insurance can be invalidated by the simple fact that the plugs weren't changed by an electrician.
It may not be the most sensible or logical law in the world, but it is the law.

I just got confused looks from friends/family who have lived in Queensland all their life or even the past 5-20yrs etc about this.
But am going to side with steve on this one, nice job going out swapping plug tops, do you have to pat test the appliance also
