Per Australian standard AS60038, the australian supply is nominally 230V +10/-6%.
So, technically anywhere between 216 and 253 is within spec.

Different states or providers may stipulate a different nominal voltage but, including tolerances, it shouldn't exceed the limits of the AS.

I'm not disputing that the voltage in NSW is 240v and I did say in my original post that different providers can stipulate different nominal volatge, but they still should not exceed the upper and lower limits set out in the Australian standard.

I've never measured what is coming out of my wall sockets. Technically, it should be somewhere between 216 and 253.
