Makes more sense to me than some politician working out for themselves some ultra-tenuous link between this commercial arrangement and the "Australian-ness" of Qantas following the strategic announcements recently made.

Sadly the Qantas SANTA has failed to deliver on this on-going saga. 
Let's hope a rapid and sensible outcome becomes one of their New Year resolutions. @:-)
Best wishes to all for the holiday season and have a safe and prosperous New Year

Sad but correct/true
Tried to access the BA lounge at Terminal 5 using my Qantas Club card but got refused, the door nazi had a laminated card which said Qantas Club didn't get you access.
Checking the Qantas website, my interpretation is I should've been allowed in ...
... what have I misinterpreted. The fact that the BA staff had a laminated card they could stuff in my face suggests I wasn't the first person to try.

Yes you are correct at present but with QF dropping the LHR-HKG service and code-sharing on the BA service from spring 2012 it will have a direct impact on QP members flying via HKG to SYD, MEL as BA departs from LHR T5. They have also marketed codeshares with BA to various European cities with stated access to Lounges for Qantas Club members. A link to this internal marketing document is posted earlier in the thread by BD1959.

That there is an issue with lounge access is one thing, it is the reference to JSA that I am referring to; the JSA flights don't depart from T3
If things do not changem those with QC membership will just have to consider whether it is worth renewing when renewal time comes

HKG is not a JSA route

Quite frankly although this does not affect me the fact that QF and BA have yet to come to a new agreement regarding QP access indicates to me how little regard QF has towards its flyers regarding the changes to it long haul services.

My understanding is that the JSA was extended to include HKG some time ago. What are you basing the HKG not being part of the JSA on? HKG flights however depart and arrive at t5, except for the QF flights carrying the BA code which go from T3.

The Joint Services Agreement (JSA) applies to QF/BA services from Australia to SIN/BKK/HKG and to LON/FRA via SIN/BKK/HKG.
