yes your right AS3001 standards apply in Australia you can loose fittings/ appliances at customs with incorrect plugs and standard fittings. the standards say that a qualified electrical worker should wire and test with compliance cert. to any modification on portable appliances. Bunings people are not qualified even though they pretend to know what they are doing ( same as indo workers here) remember any fault in an electrical appliance that may cause a fire through faulty or hot (bad) connection you may loose you claim on home insurance (if your smart enough to have some)
