Where is it?

Looks like the Boeing Renton paint shop but I'm just guessing. There's an AS aircraft behind it.

Does it look like it's named "Monkey Mia"?

Definitely Renton.

Is this the first livery paint job we've seen since the logo rebrand?

I guess this confirms they won't be adopting the inverted colourway on the tail.

I don't think that was ever an option - we can't have two major airlines with red tails.

When I'm overseas I often look at Turkish Airlines and first think it's QF.

VA were never going to do a livery rebrand apart from speculation from many posters across numerous Aviation/Flyer related forums including this one.

It took its first flight on May 22.

It wasn’t scheduled to get the rework modifications done in May or June, so if it’s July then they would likely get it late July or early August.

I assume they will get a few delivered at once considering the delay.

I like the new branding on the winglets.

The Virgin logo has also been added to the undercarriage. You can just see it in the photos below.
