Pretty much everywhere with fibre in Australia has had the copper ripped up. You can still get a landline over the fibre network, there’s just a RJ11 port on the network termination device. You can even run a cable from it to one of the old wall jacks and every other one in the house will work. Plug any old landline phone in just fine.
