Well here I am 3 months on, being very patient and my flight is in 2 days. LAtest I am told is that I am still number 2 in the waitlist but that Economy and Business are completely full. There are however plenty of seats in 1st. Why oh why does Qantas not do what other airlines do and upgrade a grateful paying business customer to first, an economy platinum (like me!) to business and then have another full-fare economy seat to sell? Do they really think they are going to sell that first class seat for cash at this late stage? </font>
If there are people waitlisting for business to 1st upgrades, they might well do them tomorrow and then you will most likely get yours. Why would they just upgrade someone else for free in order to allow you to upgrade?
