They'd love to have lounges in HBA and TSV but the airport owners in both have been unable to provide space.
The terminal upgrade in TSV is starting soon with 2 new lounges up on the mezzanine level, one for VA and one for QF,

Would it remove any hassles you see (as listed) in a standard lounge? No because half of those people causing the mess will just be moving next door into a Platinum/Business Class lounge.
Could they do better in their current lounges? No doubt. I'm sure every airline could.
I'd be curious to know, if they were looking to expand lounge footprints or create second lounges, would there actually be the space within airports to allow for this? I mean you take the VA lounge in Adelaide, whilst it's functional, the footprint certainly appears to be an afterthought so to speak within the airport framework itself.
VA had to actually extend the terminal building at BNE to make the lounge larger (and create the part-time premium entry).

I was thinking the same. That upstairs space is under-utilised.

No. What is really needed is a seperate boarding priory lane for business class passengers. There are no so many people able to join the priority queue it is no longer a perk when you have paid much extra for your travel.

If you're paying to fly in J you're doing it wrong.

The last time I was in a Qantas business lounge (about two weeks ago), it was an absolute pig sty. Not a single tidy table in the place. No staff to be seen.

It’s disappointing they haven’t done it yet - they seem to be trading mainly off their premium entry in Sydney and premium exit in Melbourne, which are great but let down by the one tier lounge (especially the sad one in Syd).
