The new law, reported by AP News, will require companies to obtain prior consent before making marketing calls. This is part of a broader effort to protect consumer privacy and reduce nuisance calls.
The new law, which takes effect next week, will require companies to get prior consent from consumers before making unsolicited telemarketing calls.

Australia banned telemarketing a while ago, it worked pretty well. The only spam phone calls left are 100% illegal scammers.
https://www.acma.gov.au/telemarketing-and-e-marketing they give out million+ dollar fines which sort things out. Just being a customer doesn't allow them to send marketing, you have to opt in.

You can ban these practices as much as you want, but what we really need is ENFORCING. I have to be able to report a phone number that called me, and have them either fined or blocked at the national level for spam.

It happened in Spain months ago. Then the "marketers" start calling from international phone numbers.
