How to get from Perth to Japan using Qantas points?

Why is it so hard to find a Qantas FF ticket from Perth to Japan?
They don’t fly there themselves, so you’d think that options via either Cathay or JAL would turn up all the time, but when I go looking, they just don’t.
Is this because I’m just not looking quickly enough/early enough when the tickets are released?
Or because (due to some internal machination between Qantas/CP/JAL) they aren’t sharing their FF tickets?
It’s exasperating. All these points, and no way to spend them (on what I want)!

Perth to Japan with Qantas Points certainly is a tricky one right now. Cathay Pacific is currently flying three times a week to Perth so availability is low. With JAL, you’d need to fly Qantas to Singapore, Sydney or Melbourne to connect to a Japan Airlines flight. You might need the multi-city booking tool to piece that one together.
