As I have been commuting SYD-BNE the last few months I have noticed on many occassions the first bags out on the carousel do not have priority tags. My bag usually comes out on the carousel somewhere in the miiddle which means I am waiting an extra minute or so. No big deal in the grand scheme of things and my new trick is to stop into the lounge for a couple of quickies before heading downstairs to find my bag all alone going round and round on the carousel.
I did this once at ADL. Stopped for a couple of cheekies at the pub there as i was hanging for a beer... When i got to the belt my bag was off of it, and the lady was looking around and about to call security, yes security... Has this happened to you JohnK? Or are QF different than DJ?

Your baggage will be Priority or Business* tagged when you travel on Australian and New Zealand domestic flights marketed and operated by Qantas or QantasLink.
* When you are travelling domestically in Business Class or if you have Platinum or Gold Frequent Flyer membership.

Yes I have received calls from both QF and DJ.
Last October I was travelling NAA-MRZ-SYD-WGA//ABX-SYD and I only checked my bag through to SYD as I was going by train from WGA-ABX. When I was waiting at the train station in Wagga I got a call from QF asking where I was and whether I was picking up my bag. I explained that I had a tight connection and could not collect my bag and I would be back later in the afternoon to pick it up. No worries bag was waiting for me in T2 baggage services.
Back in February I used DJ for the first time and I travelled SYD-CBR and was going to stay there for 2 nights. Anyway on arrival in CBR went to the QF lounge to get something to eat and have a few drinks. Whilst in the lounge I got a call from DJ asking where I was and did I know that leaving luggage behind is a federal offence. I told him that I had been feeling sick and will be there soon to collect my bag. What can they say? People do get sick during or after a flight.
I have some other funny stories like the time I was travelling SIN-BNE-SYD and for some reason did not realise I had to collect my bags in BNE. I reported the bags missing in SYD and got a call from QF later and the bags were delivered to me by courier free of charge....

BNE taxi queues have been really bad for a while now. And even when you get into the cab it can take a long time to get ou of the airport.
Yeah, I suffered a cabbie rant the other night about not having more than one taxi exit thru the "chopper", and wholeheartedly agree with him. Same experience re time/money to get to Gateway, although lets not get me started on BNE airport again.
Sorry Dave. That only relates to domestic. (edit: It is silent on International even for gold and plat, but I have always got priority tags on international flights.)
However, according to what you quoted everyone gets priority tags except Gold and platinum who get business tags. Plus everyone travelling in J gets business tags
If we rearrange to make the meaning more clear.
Your baggage will be Priority (or Business*) tagged when you travel on Australian and New Zealand domestic flights marketed and operated by Qantas or QantasLink
(or business* tagged) *When you are travelling domestically in Business Class or if you have Platinum or Gold Frequent Flyer membership.

It is not unclear on that page. That page is specifically detailing benefits of QC membership and states that priority handling is a benefit for QC members , Gold and Platinum members on domestic services. It then details that Gold and Platinum get Business tags and that Qantas Club members get Priority Tags
ergo Gold and Platinum members are entitled to priority handling on both domestic and international flights and that Qantas Club members are entitled to priority handling on domestic flights
