Woodwork or stained glass suppliers will have complete assemblies.  Probably
short lengths, and often with a switch.

Best bet is to go to an electrical supply or regular hardware shop, get the
bits & make your own.

I know you won't find them in Australia, I'm fairly sure there's a
regulation limiting cable lengths.  The longest cable & plug assembly I've
found off the shelf was around 8 feet, used for hairdryers.  I guess they
take exception to long runs of thin unearthed cable.
