If you run this in your (metal) shed, that is your RF ground whether you 
want it to be or not.  Of course I too agree that Aussie sheds are better 
than US sheds...
However, I don't share your conviction about safety of electronics. They 
have a lot of protection but why risk it.
Of course you can run your phone only inches away from a 4 foot spark like 
this...
