</span>No. Since you're not a member of the Gang of Four, Telstra has no<br>
obligation or desire to peer with you (or anyone else). Some history:<br>

"Historically, the ACCC recognised this problem in 1998 and took<br>
enforcement action to require peering between IP networks. However, the<br>
determination made at the time was fatally flawed. The ACCC decided<br>
(incorrectly) at the time that the (then) dominant four players had to<br>
peer – but no requirement was placed upon those four to peer with anyone<br>
else, ever. All subsequent requests and attempts to peer with Telstra and<br>
Optus since then have been rejected by those network providers."<br>
