Your e-ticket clearly states your allowance for the Qantas flight, and it is not 2x23kg which was my point. The 2x23kg allowance is clearly shown as only applicable to the BA metal flights.
Not sure how this could be made more clear, I have bolded the section for you.
Qantas used the 'piece' allowance concept for tickets issued prior to 26 Feb 2013, then moved to a weight allowance.
There is no Qantas policy to provide additional baggage allowance to non-Qantas oneworld Sapphire's, but it seems a Qantas CS rep has waived the official policy and provided this to you. This is an exception, not stated policy.

Thanks Nux, I can read and have seen that part but this is where my confusion is. Are you saying that when I check in, BA will enforce the 30KG rule as Qantas will only allow that therefore its the Qantas policy that will apply?
On the BA site :
If your journey includes connecting flights with more than one airline, the checked baggage policy of the airline that operates the longer leg will apply. For example, if you fly with American Airlines from New York to London and connect onto British Airways to Amsterdam, the leg with American Airlines is longer and their baggage policy applies to the whole journey
So assuming this, I will get 2 X 23KG....is that correct as the LHR -> HKG is the longer leg (and its the MSC, but BA does not reference that on thier site)? Because that then goes against what you bolded right as the BA policy will apply?
