Minimum connection time Sydney?

In J or Y?

There are flights every 2-3 hours tomorrow from SYD-PER with seats on all in Y although a couple of flights sold out in J.

They don't normally proactively rebook domestic connections and wait until actual arrival at the Qantas transfer area, they do this as it's never really known how long immigration, baggage reclaim and customs could be. It's worth noting it works both ways I've had bookings updated by the transfer area to fly ahead on an earlier SYD-BNE making my offical transfer time just 55 minutes.

Yet iv had the issue of getting to the domestic transfer terminal area with about a hour until the domestic flight departure. Being checked in, given boarding pass and luggage tags. To only get to the domestic gate and be told that they’ve given the seats away as they’ve thought me and a number of others wouldn’t make it.
Happened around 2 weeks ago after arriving on qf28 and connecting to qf1505.
Never happened to me before. After around 2hrs, they gave us hotel rooms and vouchers after initially saying to make the claims through travel insurance.
