I see Netcomm even sell the appropriate filter-splitters.  I presume this is part of the explanation for my original question.

There are areas where the the voice services will be continued -
regional areas where fixed wireless and satellite cannot replace the
existing fixed voice services. Telstra will be continuing to provide
these services.

All other areas will be disconnected after the 18mo* window.
