Where did it become illegal to change a light bulb?
In Victoria, Australia, there was legislation that said it was illegal to change a light bulb. On the Quora web platform, social media users have raised queries in this regard.
First they were told to guess the name of the place. Some people wrote the wrong name, Japan, while others wrote the correct answer, Australia. This law covered all electrical work, not just changing light bulbs.
Why was it illegal?
In Victoria, no one could carry out any electrical work unless they were a qualified electrician. To install a fuse and change a light bulb or socket they needed a license.
The Energy Act aggressively applied this regulation to the general public until 1998. By some accounts, violating the legislation could result in a fine of up to ten Australian dollars (around 500 rupees).
However, things have evolved significantly and Australians are now excluded from this legislation when they are inside their homes. They are still not allowed to change light bulbs in public and commercial establishments, especially in Western Australia.
How do some other laws baffle people in Australia?
There are several more regulations in Australia that have caught the attention of people across the country. According to News.com.au, it was illegal to be near or inside a house frequented by thieves.
Several websites have claimed that this atrocious law exists in Australia.
