Australia uses Remote Towers for places like Alice Springs airport, which is controlled from Adelaide some 1,500km away.

Not correct. A remote tower monitored in Adelaide was trialled in Alice Sprngs but never commissioned. There was a plan to use remote towers to enable quick establishment during the mining boom to cater for a rapid a increase in FIFO mine workers but the boom came and went and no remote towers were ever built.
