How well does QFF do geography?

Flights between Southeast Australia and Malaysia or Sri Lanka

That is from the QFF page on determining SC earn for Sri Lankan Airlines.
Seems UL has a code share on MH flights to Perth if you start in Colombo.
Is Perth in Southeast Australia? Or do I get to use the all other flights category?
Difference is economy versus discount economy since the available fare classes are "somewhat inflated" at the moment.
I could credit to AA and bring my reward points there to a nice round (though medium sized) number and reset the use by date for future wandering

It seems Malaysia is in the Perth table and UL has a specific option on the calculator too - better than the MH code options.

How well does QF do geography? Not so well when it considers Taiwan part of China

The tools you highlighted I did find and they were actually updated since the last time (>3 months ago) I looked.
The tricky bit is the fare code. I will be getting an M class fare on an UL flight number.
Is it discount economy or economy?

Depends on where Perth is located (according to QFF) when I am wandering....

Ah, I see the conundrum. My apologies. Yes, the fare code table could do with some clarity. However I think you'd have a reasonable claim that Perth is not in "Southeast" Australia, if you can prepare yourself mentally and emotionally to ask for ORC if it mis-posts after your wandering.

Edit: based on the above table, it appears to award the same status credits for both discount economy and economy as long as it's a UL code and not MH. Further, assuming two flight numbers, the flight between KUL and CMB is not covered by the table and should fall into the 'all other flights' category too. I don't think anyone would claim Sri Lanka itself is in Europe!
