Using points to fly from LAX to BNE, many interesting questions and redeeming points

[vyaw2003]

Hello,
A few questions here so i will just lay them down.

As we all know Qantas points flights suck as they only have 2 per flight.

On the qantas points flights website the flight i wanted was snapped up (LAX to BNE). Now a flight via HK shows up for the same date a few days later. If i just keep waiting is it likely that other carriers on the OneWorld system will open up other flights to the Qantas points program for my specific date that i require?

Is there a way i could go to a OneWorld partner directly to search for a free points flight being a member of Qantas.

Why is it cheaper to buy a qantas flight on webjet than directly on the qantas website.
And the reverse question for vAustralia, they are cheaper on webjet.
These are the exact same flights so that doesnt make sense.

A LAX to BNE flight on Qantas costs 1200. And a return flight costs 1300, but if i go to return flight i can see that the same flight one way is only costing 600, so how can i get the $600 price for one way??

..for your last question.. you can't. The one way fare is $1200...

The fact that the same flight may appear to be $600 is irrelevent when such pricing is no doubt decreed somewhere to be "each way, purchased as a return" or words to that effect.
