How about this:Exactly which clause of the T&Cs is being changed? I'll be surprised if you can find one clause that is being changed. Therefore, there is no requirement to provide notice.
And maybe this:9.3.5 effective until 30 March 2013
Note: Clause 9.3.5 will be effective until 30 March 2013. Please see below for the new clause 9.3.5 that will be effective from 31 March 2013.
The Minimum Points Guarantee will be applied to all Eligible Flights that have a QF, JQ, 3K, VF, AA or BA flight number. The Minimum Points Guarantee is as follows:
(a) for Qantas (QF) and each Jetstar Airline (JQ, 3K and VF) - 1,000 Points for each Eligible Flight Segment travelled in Qantas Economy or Premium Economy class or on a Jetstar Starter Plus or Starter Max fare and 1,250 Points for each Eligible Flight Segment travelled in Qantas Business or First class, or Jetstar on a Business Max fare, as applicable;
(b) for American Airlines® (AA) - 500 Points for each Eligible Flight Segment travelled; and
(c) for British Airways (BA) - 500 Points for each Eligible Flight Segment travelled in full Economy, World Traveller Plus, Business or First class and 125 Points for each Eligible Flight Segment travelled in discount Economy class.
9.3.5 with effect from 31 March 2013

(b) for American Airlines® (AA) - 500 Points for each Eligible Flight Segment travelled.
9.3.6 The Minimum Points Guarantee applies only if the number of Points earned after the application of any applicable Cabin Class Bonus, any promotional bonus and any Status Bonus, is less than the applicable Minimum Points Guarantee specified in clause 9.3.5.
Although it does say:9.5.2 effective until 30 March 2013
Note: Clause 9.5.2 will be effective until 30 March 2013. Please see below for the new clause 9.5.2 that will be effective from 31 March 2013.
A Status bonus will be applied for Eligible Flights with a Qantas (QF), Jetstar Airlines (JQ, 3K and VF), American Airlines® (AA) or British Airways (BA) flight number. For travel on eligible Qantas (QF) and Jetstar (JQ) flights, the Status bonus for Silver Members will be 50% of the Base Rate, 75% for Gold Members and 100% for Platinum Members. For travel on eligible British Airways flights the Status bonus for Silver Members will be 25% of the Base Rate, 50% for Gold Members and 100% for Platinum Members. For travel on eligible American Airlines flights the Status bonus for Silver Members will be 25% of the Base Rate, 75% for Gold Members and 100% for Platinum Members.

9.5.3 All Cabin Class Bonuses and Status Bonuses will be added, when applicable, to the Base Rate for the flight undertaken. See Earning Points or the 'Earning Points' section in the Benefits Guidebook for worked examples.
As it says "where possible" I suppose they can get away with it, but it could be argued who provides the benefit, QFF or BA...3.2 Qantas will use best efforts to advise Members of material changes to these Terms and Conditions and, where such changes will limit Benefits:
(a) where the Benefit is provided by Qantas, to give Members at least 6 months' notice;
(b) where the Benefit is provided by a third party, where possible give Members at least 30 days' notice.
