Hutchinson is a carrier, I thought this meant you were in the same boat as you were with telstra since you're obviously the end user.
There can be exceptions, such as companies taking E1s and the reselling to end users, but for the most part LNP was supposed to stop this sort of crap of being held hostage by your carrier, I'd start complaining to your local member, the telecommunications ministers office, the ACMA, maybe even the ACCC...
