No More International Lounge Access on Jetstar Flights (except QF codeshare/JQ business max)

I have noticed now that QF is selling the QF codeshare more often on its website for international flights (ie MEL - DPS QF5427), but if you select classic reward it notes it will ticket as the JQ flight (JQ33) - this means no lounge access for any reward flight...

Classic Rewards invariably ticket with the native partner flight code. A real minefield with non-OW partner awards in whY - any OW status is often useless.
