For an international flights from Aust you have to process security & emigration (Immigration and customs on inbound).
Do you have a passport that can use smartgate? (quicker than the desks)
Smartgate at Australia & NZ immigration Click to open the wiki

Whilst I have not done international travel to/from ADL, would expect 65mintues (22:35 - 21:30) is more than enough. ADL is a small airport. You could ask at the QF club desk. You will not be the only person in the lounge on the flight.
