I think this is a good idea. Qantas Group are making practical use of the defunct Qantas Club due to the QF withdrawal from OOL (I am assuming they are using the old Qantas Club).
Jetstar Star Class passengers can already access Qantas Club International Business lounges at QF international airports. With JQ moving their Japan flights from BNE to OOL and routing SYD-Japan flights through OOL it makes good sense to give their Star Class passengers on the OOL A330 flights the same privileges as they had before and also have at other airports.
Also, the fact that a LCC has a user-pays lounge is no different from DJ having the user-pays Blue Room (and the now renamed The Lounge). DJ classed themselves as a LCC when the Blue Room started if I remember correctly.
