I suggested that an extremely simple improvement (which would involve minimal content management effort) would be to amend the Australian section of the SkypeOut pricing table to something like the following:

What has happened since then?

I just took a peek at the SkypeOut call rates page again, and it's a sad fact that the Australian section has not changed one iota since then.

In fact, the SkypeOut call rates page should give explicit pricing for every type of call  that can be placed in each country, together with the metering mechanism for each (rate per minute, per 30 seconds, flat rate, or whatever).

So far, doing this comprehensively and with commercial agility seems to have proved beyond Skype's capabilities.

Once again, my conclusion is that Skype provides an excellent product but — for Australia (and perhaps other countries) — inexcusably persists with inaccurate and incomplete pricing information.
