Yep I can confirm this too, was just looking over the last weeks for flights and there's nothing available. Also for many other routes.
What I found at least somewhat helpful is to call Qantas (if trying to book through Qantas) and see if they can find anything. The website did barely show anything available but with an agent on the phone when looking around for half an hour we did then find something that worked out. I'll have to fly on a paid ticket for 1 segment but then got points flights to DXB and onwards. Maybe EMirates also has phone assistance?

If anyone else dislikes the Emirates website for finding awards, I recently added Emirates support to Seats.aero. Does not show surcharges yet but should be reasonably better than their website.
