Tom; great to hear that Australia is making progress. Last time I checked, standby power accounted for 5% of electricity usage in the USA, and 13% in Australia. How come?

So… what happens if you want to put *two* of those fancy illuminated switches on one wall outlet? Let me guess: the bottom switch is gonna be hard to reach, so people will either pull the switch out to turn off, or ignore it altogether.

Oh yes, and in New Zealand, we have the same outlet switches as the Aussies. Should be required worldwide, IMHO.

So if this is supposed to help stop the leeching of power why does it has an illuminated on/off switch?

I’m Australian and I have power boards with the switches, because the wall sockets behind the TV and computer are very inconvenient to reach, also have a power board where each of the 4 sockets on it has switch which gives flexibility, so not completely useless even in Australia.
