It's not that big of a difference is it? I've flown most routes to/from Melbourne and always just worked on the assumption it was gonna be ~24hr with the stopover. I try not to think about it to be honest.
Having said that, the 45hr journey did involve going Melb to Singapore to Dubai with a few hours in each having to go through fucking security each time.

That used to be a nice stopover location ... not so sure the city has quite the same vibe now.
That said, Doha or Dubai is the shortest route to OZ. Massively so. So if you're planning direct, that;s the way to do it. I did go via Singapore before but that meant an 8 hour layover in the airport plus an increase of in-air flight duration by 4 hours or so
