Does AirNZ have any seat awards on its partner airlines, or is it restricted to just Air New Zealand operated flights. As far as I know Velocity also has any seat availibility for partner airlines as well.

Fair enough, but they only partner (on international routes) with EK/HA/MH which doesn't really give you much choices! No point having any seat awards if these airlines don't go where you want to go -- or you have to travel via DBX/KUL/HNL when other alliances have more direct routes.
Oh well, at least I understand that QF (my main program) is planning on introducing any seat awards as well -- but again I suspect only on QF flights. However hopefully other *A/OW airlines will look at the QF/NZ models and perhaps copy it -- and eventually make anyseat awards avaliable across the alliance.

Going westwards you are right (HA isn't a particularly wonderful option for accessing US, but V Australia will soon come on line).
Going eastwards EK/MH/VS provide just as good options for getting to Europe/Middle East/India. What is the big deal travelling via DXB or KUL? Quite a few destinations that EK fly direct to from DXB, require transitting LHR & HKG/BKK/SIN if using oneworld.
Also MH have reasonable coverage of Asia, and travelling to many parts of Asia from Australia, perhaps with the exception from SYD, require transits somewhere. Intra-europe obviously not an option though, but there's always LCC's whose fares are comparable to taxes on awards anyway!!
