Thanks for that aussie.
Yeah, I bought up a heap of the older type plugs before the suppliers started stocking these new ones.
I refuse to expose myself and my wife to a ticking time- bomb.
Exactly, these plugs must carry 2.4kW of power running through them at maximum loading, sure most plugs won't be loaded that high, but I have seen the 15A version has the same thing on them (only difference is the bigger earth pin)
IMO, these plugs are a fire hazard.
I don't care if some idiot wears a neck chain and nearly electrocutes himself, you have to wonder about a person that wears a chain that long around a socket though.
