@Zol I believe you were given incorrect information - not uncommon with such outsource/remote agencies.
This 3YO article agrees with Etihad in that you get additional allowance.

Maybe try the Feedback form: https://www.virginaustralia.com/au/e...t-us/feedback/ specifically referring to the EY/VA partnership and your Gold Status.

Response I received from VA
Thank you for your email regarding Etihad membership benefits on Virgin Australia flights. I understand the importance of this information.
For you to be advised accordingly on your membership benefits when travelling with Virgin Australia or partner airlines, I recommend contacting your Frequent Flyer department directly.
Please be guided that we have limited information on your membership and therefore unable to discuss the benefits as it is a program of Etihad Airways.
