P.S. Some of the 'big' carriers, now and then, offer much less expensive 'plans'. Some event beat the prices in this article, if your 'Data' needs are limited.

MVNOs are fantastic value once they get up and running in healthy competition. Australia has heaps of them and IIRC some of the cheapest mobile data charges in the world.

ETA: according to data from cable.co.uk, Australia ranks 15th cheapest, 68¢ per GB on average.

Australia, which are regarded as one of the most expensive country to live in, have the cheapest data plan in the world.

Not sure which way the wind blows.
