Using domestic lounge on arrival
So to confirm an AA Emerald arriving on a flight cannot use the domestic lounge? Only QF Emerald? Hoping to use the lounge at CNS on arrival.

If inbound flight is international, and no outbound domestic flight on QF that day the answer is certainly no. You would not even get into the domestic terminal.
If you have an outbound domestic flight on QF that day and you are OW-Emerald (there is no such thing as AA-Emerald) then you would have access to QF domestic lounges (including business lounge if available).
If you have an outbound international flight on QF or a OW airline (assuming such exist) then I suspect you still would not be able to access the domestic terminal.
If you are arriving on a QF domestic flight with no ongoing flight that day, QF lounge rules state no access. I travel several times a year on QF domestic flights as a OW-Emerald and always go the QF Business Lounges before outbound flights.

There is no *arrivals* access, there is only access upon departure++ which your post then goes on to describe in excellent detail.
(BTW: I don't think the OP would have any issue accessing the domestic terminal at CNS regardless of how they arrive ... they'd just walk through the front door!!)
++ Always with the ceveat that the admission process is followed by the book.

In Australia, people do not need to be flying to pass through security to access airside at Domestic terminals.

Looking for confirmation here for a OW Emerald:
Day 1 - Arriving on an international flight in Melbourne flying in J - departing same day for Domestic - I will have access to domestic lounge.
Day 2 - No arriving flight - just a domestic flight - As a OW Emerald will I have any lounge access?

You have departure lounge access to the J lounge prior to flight as OWE but no access upon arrival. QF Platinum has arrival access as a specific benefit over OWE. Very useful for charging phones upon arrival
