FWIW, there doesn't seem to be AS to QF redemption availability for destinations like Hobart. For my upcoming trip I was able to get QF F tickets LAX-SYD and return, but had to purchase the add-on ticket to Tasmania. I was told that QF is discontinuing F service to HBA and only will have J and Y service on that route.

That said, if you want the most bang for your buck (or I should say bang for your *miles*) then IMO you'll get far better value booking First with EK or CX than with QF. Better hard product, better service and better award space availability in F.
