Telstra already does offer something comparable.

They have CSGs to comply with.  In rural areas where it's too expensive to light up a 
new CSG-mandated service with copper, it isn't at all unusual for them to supply a 
mobile phone on a billing plan that matches PSTN.

(same for Bigpond Broadband -- I know a few farmers who have it supplied by CPE 
that has a NextG SIM in it)
