Thats the answer i was looking for! Think its the old stigma that switches only outside that seems to have stuck!

Haha funny story! But can you tell me why you say outside only?? Like i said above i cannot see why it cant be inside if its outside the zone? Is it just preference?. Iv been in oz for the last three years hence me now only just doing the 17th. Anything goes over there sockets next to basins....
even outside the zones i feel is dangerouse 600mm from the edge of the bath is outside the zone so unless you have a fan that will suck every scrap of steam from the room you could get moisture in the switch as in a case not in a bathroom but a small toilet where the atmospher was damp the house holder got shocks from the damp light switch ,you never switch off a light with wet hands and when you come out of a shower say your wet so stand a good chance of a shock even if the RCD Trips it will still hurt so prevention rather than risk
Can you tell me why you would have an issue with it?? 1.5m from zone 2, rcd protected??? I camnot find anything in the regs that says it does not comply.
Is it a personal thing or does it state somewhere it cant be done??
For me it's just best practice although you are fine with what you have done.
