Does anyone know if this changes the Etihad/Qantas lounge agreement in Aus. I know it was in place well before the QF/EY codeshare agreement but get the feeling it might not last.

Lounge agreements have nothing to do with alliances! For example BA in NRT stopped using a Oneworld lounge and instead bought space from a Skyteam lounge -- about an extreme an example as it is possible to have. Whatever business case made the EY use of QF lounges possible is unchanged, so I would imagine that EY would continue to use QF lounges (not too many alternatives).

I guess if Etihad are in for the long haul (so to speak) they could build their own lounges in Australia like Emirates. We can dream...............

well, all the GF Australia staff went to EY. In fact, Cramer Ball who was the Australia CEO of GF, is the EY Regional Manager. Other staff simply transferred over.
