This is not true. You are permitted two open jaws.

Yes, and your current trip is a single open-jaw (SYD/BNE) with no stopover. Your proposed new itinerary is a single open-jaw (AKL/BNE) and a stopover (SYD).

Call back and ask the agent to add the SYD-AKL segment in to the award and reprice it. If they say the computer won't let them price it then ask them to "please store the segments and have a supervisor or the rates desk manually price it."
