In any event, I did not try to access the QF lounge when I was at AKL mainly because my BP specifically had a lounge invite to the NZ lounge. As OWS, I assume I would've been able to access the QF lounge as well, but we all know that QF (and QR) can be finicky about lounge access.
It didn't help that the signage in the terminal was a bit confusing (due to construction).
It probably saves them money by redirecting passengers to the NZ lounge
The Oneworld website does indicate that OWS and OWE are able to access the QF lounge if travelling on a Oneworld airline
