Sorry I missed this comment, Nev,
Same regulations as who?
If Australia has the highest death rate in the world, with respect to DIY work, wouldn't that make you think that people aren't understanding what they are doing.

It seems to make me think that ignorance of the rules is more to blame than any lack of skills, or maybe it is a combination of the two?, you don't get killed by 230V by knowing what you are doing.
There used to be an Inspector here from Queensland, haven't seen him in ages, but if he could poke his head in here, it would be cool.
Come on in Gray!
