All flight booked through BA!!
BA LHR-NRT
QF NRT-CNS
QF BNE-ADL
QF MEL-HOB
QF HOB-SYD
BA SYD-SIN
BA BKK-LHR
All BA flights are S and QF are M
Are all the flight numbers booked as you listed? Or do you have BA flight numbers for all flights even those operated by QF?
Is your NRT-CNS flight a JQ flight number? If Jetstar you will not earn any points, except if you pay for the bundle that includes earning QF points (and you won't earn any crediting to BA). Jetstar is a low cost airline and not part of OneWorld (although the parent company is Qantas).
I assume you realise you will need to travel between SIN and BKK on the return..
I would credit it to BA, as QF points will not be very useful to you in the UK. Although you will only earn 25% on QF flights in discount economy when credited to BA.
If you credited to QF, you would get 100% miles on BA on the kangaroo route (LHR-SIN/BKK, SIN/BKK-AUS), and 25% for all other BA flights.
But again, having BA avios will allow you to upgrade BA flights, book BA reward saver flights, etc.
