fares ex outport is fine, in fact i got slightly lower (say 100 AUD) than when I was pricing in the leadup.
ex HKG I fare to AKL (sale) fares all normal for northern summer about 3.9k AUD. ex AKL D fare to HBA I got for 2100 NZD.
I think upping the price is only for ex-Aus where most mileage runners would be based.
I kept the registration confirmation page, and the ticket says "issued on 18 Feb" so has to be after 00:01am AEDT.

UL/QF - CMB-AKL in J for 1.540 USD
Nets 960 SC assuming you fly QF metal SIN or BKK/OZ and OZ/AKL, and allowing for the fact that the UL sectors will not get double SC.

but in 2017 their promo double counted the bonus towards loyalty bonus but that was infant stage of DSC and QF were on steep learning curve

Book UL code, E class or similar. Wait for the upgrade offer, bid US$155 for the upgrade. Get upgraded, credited as full J fare.
Just did this CMB-DXB, scored 80 SCs. WINNING.

I'll be booking for July when the A330 operates. That one journey will make re-qualifying for Gold easy

Big overlap with the travel dates of the previous offer. Only managed to bag a couple fo flights this time round - if it had gone to the end of the year I could have booked a lot more

Red E Deals NTL-BNE followed by any of the following are good domestic SC options:
NTL-BNE-SYD-MEL-CBR-BNE-NTL cheapest of the cheap fares still gets you 60 SCs and 4,800 points.
Easiest path to 50 SCs would be NTL-BNE-SYD(K class or similar to score 20 SCs)-BNE-NTL. Can be done in a day.

Decided to book this CMB/AKL in J - did it over the phone with QF and the agent was flabbergasted at how cheap it was. Nets 960 SC's and 39,500 points which is pretty good. Got the SYD-SIN leg in A380 so put in an upgrade to F for 31,500 points, so fingers crossed it clears. Thanks for pointing out the fare minz56!
