How many safety switches does Australia need? 


"Based on the most recent (August 2016) Census data, Master Electricians Australia estimates there is a deficit of around 30 million safety switches in homes across Australia. This is calculated by considering the number of houses built under each era of wiring rules, and how many safety switches each is likely to have, and assuming (conservatively) that each home should have four safety switches to cover all its circuits."
