nearly $50 seems expensive. and it doesn't even have insulated pins or approval. i would not buy it.

I'm pretty sure that one is made for China, not Australia. The Chinese plug, although similar, is inverted to ours and the pins are not insulated. I did recently buy this one myself for plugging in the odd international appliance, but it also has the inverted Chinese plug. It's only 2-way but a bit cheaper especially if you don't need a lot of outlets. <$10 delivered. http://www.tinydeal.com/2-outlets-au-electric-ac-power-bar-s… (or a "4" way http://www.tinydeal.com/4-outlets-au-electric-ac-power-split…)

  It doesnt matter that its a chinese plug because I have a converter… I just dont want to have to use 10 converters for my 10 asian-plug devices (an exaggeration obviously - but you get the point)
  
  Thanks for the links tho. :)

What are you trying to achieve?

When I travel I use a cheap power point adaptor with a cheap Aussie power board. Total cost less than $10.

Unless you bizzarly have a different device from each country, why do you need a full board of adapters?

If you are from Japan living in Oz for example get one cheap Oz to Jap converter and then get a cheap Jap powerboard.
