There's a few in Perth. They occasionally paste some laughable text in the local papers proclaiming that they are sole bodies and not beholden to taxation. Or some other bumph. It's odd that all sovshitness seems to come down to not paying taxes, while still using all the facilities that taxation provides.

hopefully those bodies are treating such a questionnaire with the respect it deserves

It'll need a 1.5GB "drivers" download every week, a subscription to just keep running, forget all its network settings monthly, need an "app" to set it up, and if you don't play a game they like it'll just brick itself?

Even 20 years ago the Easter eggs would arrive in stores before Christmas and be put on the shelves not soon after.

This is a pretty good rundown of how fucked it is https://medium.com/@jamesdwho/australias-3g-shutdown-telcos-to-block-working-4g-5g-phones-2bf41e95de8a And now why there's more interest in "restoring" IMEIs to compatible, but blocked, handsets than there was a year ago.

[–] quokka@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The problem was that some handsets (including ones sold by the networks as "4G") would drop to 3G for 000. Even same models on different firmware behaved differently. So the regulator said to ban any the networks weren't 100% sure were compatible. With 30(?) days' notice. And the online IMEI checker is incomplete/useless too. So now the only realistic place for average consumers to buy known-compatible handsets is from the network operators. At their prices, with their software.
