if i purchase like an MD or portable audio gadget from overseas(Taiwan), will it be compatible with Australian power ratings etc.?

and are the fm/am tuners universally compatible?

I doubt it. Just buy one in Australia. Then you'll know it's compatible.

And yes, the FM/AM tuners are somewhat universal, but in some countries the stations are .05 MHz apart and in others they are .2 MHz apart. Many FM tuners are now .05 MHz, even the ones sold in America, so the only difference is the power supply.
