Qantas would do the trick. With 3 r/ts to LHR a week, it would take you 6 weeks to reach silver (ow ruby) , another 6 to reach Gold (OW Sapphire) and another 12 to reach Platinum (Ow Emerald)
Only fare bases of T, G, E, L, W, S and I are inelgibable for credit to QF on Aer Lingus
Would take you 12 weeks to get business lounge access and 6 months to get 1st lounge access

Yes - but all EI flights to the UK codeshare with BA. Book the BA codeshare, and every fare calss is eligible. And you get the 500 mile minimum.
