Priced with 2 stopovers, SIN & BKK
for 1975 USD you can fly EK 777 CAI-DXB, then EK 380 all the way from Dubai down to Australia and back with stopovers in SIN and BKK, and only QF 737 to/from WLG, with a total of 6 flights out of 8 under QF numbers and lots of miles & TP

or for 2325 USD you can fly EK 777 CAI-DXB, EK 380 DXB-SIN/BKK (stopovers on both ways) and then QF 380/330 to/from Australia and QF 737 to/from WLG, but all 8 flights under QF numbers, the same amount of miles but a lot more TP

From the examples given, I gather it has to be between the EK-legs to work out (but not in DXB).

Currently on a CAI-WLG return (also works to Queenstown around same price but not AKL/CHC)
All my flights are on QF flight numbers
Able to stopover in BNE/SYD /MEL on outbound and return legs (maybe other points - haven't checked) but as indicated above each stopover limited to 30 days max.
Each stop in Oz adds a hundred dollars or more for the AU taxes
My itinerary is CAI-DXB-BNE(stop)-SYD-WLG-SYD-BNE(stop)-DXB-CAI

yes
Would one earn any TP on BA Executive Club if flying EK metal but QF flight #s ?
Qantas (QF)
Including QantasLink (QF) and Jetconnect (QF)
Executive Club Members can collect Avios on the following flights:- flights marketed and operated by Qantas or Qantas Airlines affiliates under the QF designated code
- flights marketed by Qantas but operated by Jetstar booked as oneworld fare in L class only
- flights marketed by Qantas or Qantas Airlines affiliates and operated by Qantas, a Qantas Affiliate, BA, another oneworld carrier, or another third party under a codeshare agreement

Most likely not, as codeshare flights are not counted for status if not operated by OW carriers, IIRC. You may want to shoot off an email to BA and ask for clarification though - I am wrong more often than not where it comes to their byzantine program.

Sorry, I copy-pasted the wrong information.
Anyway, I flew WAW-DXB-MEL all in EK J metal last year and the 3 flights under Qantas numbers I took were credited as TP in my BAEC account. Maybe I was lucky, but I think I got a BAEC account as I had read somewhere about it!
Good luck and happy travels!

Just one more question: what are exactly 'oneworld flights' for BA? only those marketed AND operated by OW airlines, or just any flight marketed by any OW airline?
BA webpage is not clear:
Whenever and wherever you fly, you can earn Avios — with British Airways, our oneworld®alliance partners and our other airline partners. You can earn Tier Points too, on British Airways and oneworld flights.

Sorry, it's me again with more confussing info:
The page about Qantas where I copy-pasted the above info includes a table about Avios AND tier points, but no more details there about no-oneworld airlines or codeshares agreements:

It does mention AFFILIATES though, and EK is definitely not QF's affiliate airline. I think you will be able to find more precise question in BA forum though, I'm sure you're not the first one confused and these questions are very likely already answered
