The NZ lounge IMO is heaps better than Silver Kris.
RE: SQ F/J boarding pass, you are only permitted to use the SQ Lounge, NZ will not let you in, many people have tried. Although sometimes UA might let you in their RCC at MEL.
In SYD When flying TG F,
I find the QG F lounge much nicer than the NZ lounge.
its small but nice food and never anyone in there so nice and private.
The lounge dragons in the SQ lounge always point me to the NZ lounge but I point out that I can access any *F lounge

and they-
say go ahead.
