we do 1 call or so per month on the landline, we have it just so we have a phone number.
is there a cheaper option?
no mobiles or fancy stuff involved.
See if you can get naked ADSL... it seems you don't need the landline as you only make one call a month. Westnet do naked if you are in the right area.
I am also with Westnet but I don't care that they cost more. People all around go for the cheapest but they have no end of problems. My son has a cheap bundle and now it takes him 4 hours to upload to his youtube channel. My mum is with Telstra and I don't think she has a correct bill for the past 6 months.

Westnet $60 p/m Internet + landline. (Depending on where you live - sometimes there is a surcharge to telstra). But they do not give phone discounts to pensioners like telstra does.

I have recently swapped to the Telstra Max bundle
so I get
unlimited phone calls, local, national, mobiles,
200 GB internet then slowed
Foxtel channels
BUT
I have other charges I know nothing about on my account which I have to investigate, which have doubled my monthly account, and a mobile phone number i know nothing about on my account, and I was not given any SIM card.
Also the Foxtel is not connected yet, partially my fault for not getting onto that, andI have to get onto that, when I get a moment.
and my favourite prepaid mobile number which I took to Telstra, was disconnected as I had not topped up the mobile credit for the required time. I just had the phone for emergencies and did not use it often at all.
Okay, that was my error, but Telstra could have sent an email to me advising me I would lose my number if I did not take the action of topping credit up. But nothing advising me of that which is annoying
I lodged a complaint but have been told there is nothing that can be done and the number is lost. But when I google, some people have posted the number can be brought back but you have to go high enough and find the right person.
and I did like the number as it was very easy to remember and I did not want to lose it.
also my old phone company has still been billing my CC so I have to deal with that too

I'm on TPG unlimited ADSL2 connection, plus landline. for $60. The landline previously cost me $30 rental so I figure I get the internet for $30. I think tpg have changed the plan slightly according to #20. I find their Help desk wonderful, they go to no end of trouble if I have a (very rare) problem.
