Not at all. Echidnas and porcupines are not even remotely related. Echidnas are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. porcupines are placental mammals, a quite different order of mammals.
Animals that eat porcupines usually flip them over and attack their bellies, which have fewer quills. They may also target the face or head to avoid the sharp quills on the back. Some predators, like fishers and wolverines, have thick fur that protects them from the quills.
There are no porcupines in Australia, nor have there ever been porcupines in Australia.
"Porcupines" is already a plural noun. The singular form is porcupine. A group of porcupines is commonly referred to as a "prickle" of porcupines.
