NBN interference

I would be more inclined to start with the Telecommunications Ombudsman and the ACMA.

Also, do you have any commercial MW or FM stations that you can no longer listen to because of the interference? - Amateur Radio is so far down the list of priorities as far as interference mitigation on either the ACMA's or the Ombudsman's agenda that it will be completely ignored and there is no point complaining to the NBN mob, they think they are way above the law.

Whereas, because large sums of money are involved from advertisers, interference to commercial radio will be looked at quick smart.

Don't just complain once, keep complaining until you get a response - it will, unfortunately take a while.

As to UK and notching - yes it is done but not always that effective - there is a campaign on in the UK to get people to report VDSL interference to their regulator (Ofcom) but from comments I've seen, it appears as though those complaints are falling on similarly deaf governmental ears.
