We were thinking also
PER-MEL 23:55-5:20
MEL-AKL 7:45->

But with MEL is 2h25min transfer enough time to visit in QF F lounge?
AKL PPT is the QF codeshare TN operated
IF QF are selling as 1 ticket they consider it OK. QF's risk and not yours.
At AKL you would remain international airside. Just a security check.
At SYD you would have to do the T3 T1 bus shuffle.

For option 2 MEL domestic & international are a 5 minute walk
You would get time for breakfast in the QF F lounge.
Option 2 would be my preference. Avoiding SYD T3 T1 shuffle is worth spending a little extra for. And more time for the AKL transit

Air NZ have a non stop PER AKL flights and AKL PPT flights
