This is outdated information.

Telstra's initial NBN offering indeed delivered voice via the CPE which used the UNI-D (data) port.

However, since then, they have additionally allowed users to make use of the UNI-V (voice) port without requiring the Telstra-supplied gateway.

I doubt legacy customers would have been upgraded automatically.

Given that the NTU is a SIP user-agent internally, this is not terribly how-you-going for a voice provider to implement.
