I'll take the opportunity once again to laud the Oz/NZ system where non-polarised plugs (even two pin, Sven) do not exist.
Hutch, I ran across this little beauty on Clipsal's on-line catalog.
A couple of years I also bought two of them from Clipsal (expensive little suckers - cost me like US$5) because I was intrigued and wanted to see if they really were American configuration non-polarized plugs. Behold it was....

What would an Australian electrical system use this for?
There is also a mating socket. Looks just like an American socket (two flat parallel pins).
It's rated for 250 volts, 10 amps. The plug is Catalogue #492. Unpolarized. And it had the Australian certification marks on the bag it came in...
Something else to add to my electric plug collection. Not kidding. I collect the little suckers.
