It's more likely that they changed to a transproxy that represents the users IP.

Every few pages you get logged out because a different one of Telstra's proxies handled the traffic. Haven't seen that one in years though - either websites have changed, or Telstra got their act together and don't rotate the server-side IP of their proxy(ies) so often.
