Those flights should keep part of the second plane busy.
From reports elsewhere (YSSY) VH-EBC will be the first QF A332 to be painted up into Jetstar colours, followed by VH-EBD. Aircraft will end service with QF during the first week of October and enter service with JQ on 15NOV along with EBD.
The 2 'extra' A332s will be delivered new to JQ in JUN07 (msn 842) and JUL07 (msn853). Maybe thats when they start Honolulu service from Melbourne and Sydney as per their press release, thats if the Qantas pilots agree to it.
This ends speculation that Jetstar was going to have codeshare flights to Vietnam.
Does anyone know if QF will keep current codeshare agreement with VN?
Its good to see more flight happening between Australian and Vietnam with MEL and SYD both having large Vietnamese populations.

This sounds about right. The current A332 in QF's is well below range meaning it can't make it all the way to HNL

Does anybody know if the former Australian Airlines' Japan routes will be (or have been) taken over by JQ or mainline QF? I am curious about the fate of SYD-CNS-NGO-CNS-SYD.

Jetstar is still trying to do a deal with VN.
VN wanted to expand beyond daily, but the Australian Govt said no, in order to force a codeshare with JQ.
Also, MEL-BKK 3pw flights announced today.
Press conference at 10am SYD time.
The fares currently online a standard fares. You can expoect some specials after the announcement.
By the way - MEL-BKK is $891 incl taxes. not THAT cheap!

JQ will take majority of the flights that QF have to Japan i think except NRT.
LOW-COST airline Jetstar International will today launch long-haul overseas fares it believes are up to 30 per cent lower than the cheapest everyday fares available from competitors.
The airline, owned by Qantas (qan.ASX:Quote,News), will also unveil even lower sale fares to get people travelling to the six international destinations that will initially be serviced by its fleet of four ex-Qantas Airbus A330-200 jets.
Jetstar International hopes to be flying by November and is part of a push to promote the Qantas Group as two brands. The strategy will see Qantas mainline aircraft flying higher-yield routes frequented by business travellers, and Jetstar taking on thinner long-haul leisure routes.
Jetstar International will initially fly from Sydney to Honolulu, Bali, Phuket, Ho Chi Minh City and Osaka; from Melbourne to Honolulu, Bali and Bangkok; and from Brisbane to Osaka. It will fly up to six, 303-seat A330-200 jets with two classes, "StarClass" and economy.

I wouldn't mind trying this star class for a bit more money. Its probably the same price as QF economy
