	The international standard (I believe) is brown - active, blue - neutral,
and green with yellow stripe - ground.

This is the current Australian standard. The old Australian standard was
red - active, black - neutral, and green - ground. The standard domestic supply
is nominally 240 Volts RMS at 50 Hz. Measured voltages of up to 260 Volts are
within the supply tolerance.
