What freedom flights exist in Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific?

(For reference about freedom flights, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedoms_of_the_air)

The ones that come to mind are UAL between SYD and MEL as well as EK's flights.

I've heard China Eastern and Philippine Airlines fly between SYD and MEL, but I'm not sure which freedom classification they're under.

What other ones exist?

Only Australian airlines can sell SYD-MEL-SYD. You can fly MEL-SYD with UA, but only in conjunction with a connecting UA SYD to USA flight. EK does not fly SYD-MEL as far as I know. (The USA also does not also allow QF to sell LAX-JFK).

From Au to NZ EK & Lan do sell flights

CX have a HKG-ADL-MEL flight once or twice a week. Same applies as with the UA flights though.

Only Australian airlines can sell SYD-MEL-SYD. All New Zealand carriers can sell seats on this sector as well (as well as all other AU domestic sectors). The fact that none currently operate on AU domestic sectors does not preclude them from doing so in the future.

Correct. Trans-tasman however there are several non oz/nz airlines operating and these are allowed to sell (without requiring purchase of the connecting international flight).

Norfolk Air operate a SYD-MEL flight on FRI. But technically the flight is run by Ozjet, so it's ok.
