on a serious note when they are using a Predictive Dialer (I did the IT side for a Call Centre) when you answer keep talking the Dialer doesnt expect to hear constant noise and will drop the call as a answering machine.
Cheers
PS Yes the National Do Not call register is a good way to stop Australian company's from calling you. The only thing to remember they have 30 days from when you register your number to comply and remove your numbers for all there lists.

Even though you register on the DNC register, you may still get calls, especially from overseas call centres or companies such as Tech Optimisers claiming to be acting on behalf of Microsoft. There is an ongoing investigation into this scam and plenty of info on the ACMA website and any calls should be reported by calling 1300 792 958 or by visiting our website at www.donotcall.gov.au.
The more information you are able to provide about the call, the more effectively the matter can be investigated. Information that may be particularly useful includes:
a. the name, company name and contact details of the person that called you;
b. if the call was made by a telemarketer on behalf of another company, the name and contact details of that other company;
c. the matters that the caller wanted to talk to you about; and
d. any other information that you think may be relevant to an investigation of the matter.
Under the Telecommunications (Do Not Call Register) (Telemarketing and Research Calls) Industry Standard 2007, telemarketers are legally required to provide you with items a, b and c above, either at the commencement of the call, or on request.
