EK is certainly spending the money on new lounges both in SYD and PER.

If you don't mind me asking...
How many showers are there?
How many computers are there?
The lack of both these things are somewhat annoying in Dubai. Only 1 or 2 shower rooms, and only 9 or 10 computers (which may seem like a lot - but compared to the traffic you can get at peak times, it is not enough)

AKL yes. All 3 flights leave within an hour or so. Every seat taken. Queues for bathroom 
BNE - I cant imagine it would be crowded. Reasonable size and only one flight at a time.
