Honestly, Australia having free pay phone calls is almost more interesting than the game they are playing with them.

    Telstra is required to provide the payphone network coverage. But it costs more money to physically collect the funds from the phones than its worth, so they just make them free to save the effort. They also have wifi in some of them thats free for telstra subscribers

    I thkught it was more that they sell money from advertising on the side, but nobody uses them, so instead of having them forcibly removed, they pivoted and claimed it was a public service.

    there are a ton of easy captures to be had on Kangaroo Island.

    Aww, just came back from there. For what its worth, Kangaroo island isnt that expensive, its suprisingly reasonable for a holiday location. But be aware that its a huge island, everything is a lot larger than i expected.
