Hi all, it doesn't matter what brand it is. There's not much to choose from at the shops, besides being locked to a network. Mother is with Aldi network, only makes a few calls and takes photos of the kids. Much appreciated if you can help.

Do you hate your mother or something? Getting her a $100 phone will cause her much grief.
While I appreciate what you're getting at, to me, the OP is saying, I want a phone primarily with a usable camera, "smarts" and the latest version/upgradabilty of software are not particularly needed so may still be possible? Storage a factor perhaps?
As a novice I can't make any suggestions, sorry.
You're not going to get a good camera at that price. If that's not a problem just wait for one on special at Woolies, Coles, Auspost etc, make sure it has the 3G frequencies necessary, and if it is locked, which it probably will be, check on eBay that you can get it unlocked.
If you're more adventurous and can wait longer you can get a phone from one of the Chinese sellers like Gearbest. My $55 Doogee is still doing what I need it to do. I'd go option 1 though.
This one mentioned here earlier this year, now on sale for $49 at Woolies should work for Aldi.
If she's not willing to pay >$100 then she should expect a good camera.
Don't bother getting an Android phone with less than 1GB RAM because Android can barely run on that let alone anything else.
Even Chinses are charging more than $100 for a decent phone.
Mi4C is a bit over at 145 AUD, but it's excellent for the price. Would recommend installing xiaomi.eu ROM over it when you receive.

Buy Mi4C . Its a good phone at that price. Personally used one for a while.
Any Windows Phone would be ideal eg. Lumia 550
