If I do that, and I then purchase this flight as a Y fare, would I get an automatic upgrade to Business if there is availability? Would that work if I have a companion? That could save me quite a bit.

Edit: Nevermind. Unless I'm missing something, I see that CPUs don't apply to flights to Australia/NZ.
No auto upgrades for international long haul.
