Technically yes* for access, but unfortunately the Emirates Lounge is only open for the morning and evening flights of theirs.Official hours are 0400-0815 and 1710-2115*Mostly yes, but not if your Qantas flight takes you to North America or South Africa, as these are outside of the partnership.

QF69 first made the trip in December 2021 (originally via Adelaide on the outbound, non-stop on the way back as QF70 - now non-stop both directions).Currently in the schedule 4 days a week (Mon/Tue/Thu/Sat) year-round.https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/qantas-now-flies-from-sydney-and-melbou...

It's back (checked with a few upcoming dates, and recent Flightradar24 activity).Unlike John Farnham, they probably aren't too keen on publicising their unretirement.

DPD replaces the ATD, of course! The Digital Passenger Declaration is "supposed" to replace ye olde paper-based Australian Travel Declaration, AKA incoming passenger card.As for the 75 million-dollar question, see: Federal Government.

The QF/EK partnership will cover you in North Africa only. (Nairobi, Accra, Cairo etc...)There's a handy little map here: https://www.emirates.com/au/english/travel-partners/qantas/
