I think you may be best to book this as multiple return journeys, such as BNE-HKG with a stopover in MEL. Then BNE-AKL-BNE and BNE-CNS-BNE.

using BA WT+ on the MEL to BKK leg then AY J on the BKK to HKG to BKK legs ?
WT+ would be nice, but will really have you going out of your way and spending a lot more time travelling. As has been pointed out, you will need to be going via SYD and SIN/BKK as well, none of which are on your destination list.

You could go for a B class Asia Fully Flexible fare that permits 2 stopovers, hence hitting MEL and HKG and flying QF and hence earning 150% AA EQP and 100% AA miles.

Perhaps you can look for a cheap D fare on LAN from SYD-AKL-SYD, which would provide comfort and good earning.
