I have met plenty of FTers who have used AS miles (either by accruing miles or purchasing them) to fly QF USA/OZ vv in F & J with very low taxes. It's a common misconception that you need to fly with the home carrier of the airline who your points are with.
Two of the best value award tickets I've travelled on have been on the partner airlines of US & AV where I hadn't ever flown with those airlines.

I hardly ever use QF ff pts on QF, but rather AA, AS or FJ & would never ever pay for a flight on QF.

Just curious as to why you're still even in the QF program if you never pay for QF tickets, sounds like you'd be much happier elsewhere?

The 'taxes' I'm referring to are those charged eg by Alaskan when flying on a QF award - I'm not telling you to use QF points to fly QF so if you're not using QF points, whatever other fees, YQ surcharges, levies etc they charge is irrelevant.

Use a lot of Qantas ff pts on AA domestically in USA. ie. get cheap tix to LAX or SFO & then ff tix from there.

The reference to 'very low taxes' was unfortunate. I'm sure @ozflygirl747 really meant "very low additional charges" as no YQ is assessed - AIUI, AS do not assess fuel surcharges.
"Taxes" should never be inclusively referred to when describing an amount when fuel surcharges form part of that amount.
