Previously if one flew Australia - (Asia) - Europe that was considered a stop over even though the stop in Asia/Middle East was considered transit to say it is two continents as opposed to three?
It isn't a stopover issue, but rather xONEx has a minimum continent count of 4 if the itinerary includes any flight directly between Europe or Middle East and Australia. Originally there was only QF
& BA between SYD/MEL and LHR, but now of course there is also QF between SYD/MEL and DXB, and QR flies to Australia too from
AUH DOH.
And yes, it still applies.
