How benefit Australians Offer us wider choice and more competitive conditions. Telstra owns the copper so build a parallel 'Fibre to the Home' network. Ensure new (unjointed fibre) can be rolled out on demand from the Node to Home (front gate) by robotic crawlers pulling the optic fibre through adequately dimensoned service channels/ pipes/ ducts/ trenchs/ or whatever you want to call the access infrastructure. PS - copper will be catastrophically uncompetitive soon enough. For remote areas satellites provide immediate coverage.
