Actually, it's officially 230 Volts, as per AS60038. The change from 240 volts started in 1983, and will probably end within the next few hundred years... (Although originally it was supposed to be by 2003)
It's largely irrelevant as the difference between 220-240 volts is within the allowed variation for 230 volts (+10%/-6%)

2 prong plugs are legal, but I'm fairly sure 2 prong sockets are not. I can easily plug a 3-prong plug into my 2-prong adapter, thus isolating the earth circuit. As an adapter is both a plug and a socket, I'd be certain that they are illegal.
