I guess the Emerald part is not really relevant other than the Status bonus.
Paying for these tickets using Qantas Business Rewards Amex, nett points earn can be almost doubled on a Qantas Marketed and ticketed (081-) flight. My business is level 2 so gets a 30% loading on base (bronze) points; the Amex triples that.
e.g. HND-SYD in discount business, base QFF earn is 7800 points. 30% is 2340, so 8140. Paying with that card adds "triples" that, so another 4680, getting to 14,820. Being Qantas Platinum adds another 5200 ... so, for myself, 20,020 is the nett earn for a Qantas Platinum. Of course, paying with the card also earns 2 Qantas points per $paid (capped).
