The "Type 4" on e-bay is what we have here. In NZ we have thre-pin systems, although the third pin is sometimes omitted as it's the earth cable and many plastic goods don't need an earthing pin... metal-cased things like fridges, washing machines and computers etc need the third pin.

Answer your questions?
