technically they can refuse entry for overcrowding. CX lounge at SFO comes to mind. i speculate that this would be for non-contracted / designated lounges though.
so I would have thought BA should have a contracted F lounge in SYD, and I would be most surprised if it said that F / Gold pax would be turned away?
