I just ran an extra cable down to the trailer plug and terminated into the brake light wire. Didn't like the idea of cutting wires under the dash.

First, in oz, a fuse in the supply to the brake controller is does not comply, has to be an auto reset circuit breaker (20 amp for single axle).

As was suggested earlier, use the second wire you run to the trailer socket as a brake light feed instead of an earth for the trailer brakes.
