Same in Australia, of course you can still go off an buy and Apple Laptop charger with no ground.
- TheSpiceIsLife 12y agoI don't know why you singled out the MacBook charger. The relevant Australian Standard (AS/NZ 3820, I think?) tells you an electrical appliance doesn't need to have an earth pin if it's double insulated, which the MacBook charger, and the stick blender in my kitchen, amongst others, are.
