Your customer is either telling you porkies, or has found a loophole. The only services that JQ codeshare with QF are to feed people around the country to and from their international services (operated by JQ). You simply can't book for example, a SYDMEL sector on a JQ coded QF service on it's own.
I suspect the point was flying internationally you book a codeshare flight with another Oneworld carrier and get the full Qantas offering for less than if you booked direct with Qantas.
For example: South African going SYD-JHB. Fly that as a South African passenger, get all your points, food, service etc on a Qantas plane but pay between $1500 and $2000 less for Business class than if you booked with Qantas.
