If you were a registered electrician you'd already know the answer.
Yes it is illegal for you to touch anything 240V related. But that's
Australia for you, where even making an ethernet lead is illegal* unless
your a registered cabler :)  I'm just waiting for the new law preventing
the average person from even flippin the light switch, since we are

that accesses  the telecomms network or any internet based system.
