I'm sitting in the QP in GLT and can't help but be rather underwhelmed.
The surrounds and fit out are nice enough, but the food and drink selection - surely you can't be serious Qantas!
The coffee consists for sachets of Nescafe Blend 43 and an urn full of hot water.
The food consists of individual packets of Arnott's Anzac biscuits and the little individual packets of chips you put in your kid's school lunchbox.
It looks remarkably similar to the minibar you would find at cheap and nasty motel. I had come in hoping to find something for lunch (albeit simple) - but will have to look elsewhere.
Now I know this is a regional lounge and you can't expect the same level of amenities as is provided in the bigger airports, but GLT isn't exactly tiny either with a substantial number of QF flights per day, including numerous on 717s.
One of QF's strengths is the regional lounge network - but if they all end up like GLT then what's the difference between the lounge and being out in the terminal?
Pick up your game QF!
