Strange. I finally had an online chat with a Qantas person and they said I could use the Wellington International Business lounge. The Qantas website seems to say the same thing if you know where to look. I am on a JQ flight number so should be fine.

This from the Wellington lounge

How will you get to it without an international ticket?

That is the bit that worries me. Im unfamiliar with the airport but the map seems to show the domestic and international gates in the same wing. Does anyone know if they are physically separated?

Actually, the entry for Christchurch specifically states the Jetstar flight must be international only (see below) whereas the entry for Wellington does not mention this. Christchurch is a affiliated lounge though.

Wellington airport is small but the Qantas lounge is definitely past immigration.
