If you're evacuated on a flight paid for by your government (eg civil unrest, volcanic ash delays), are you ever entitled to the frequent flyer miles?

The phrasing “government funded flight” suggests that the flight was chartered by the Australian government. Charter flights are not usually eligible for miles. For example, Rule 9.3.1 of Qantas’s Frequent Flyer rules says:
Subject to the exclusions in clauses 9.3.2 and 9.4, Points for air travel may be earned only for paid travel or Any Seat Awards […] on regular scheduled flights […]
and Rule 9.4.1(c) specifically says:
9.4.1 Points are not earned for travel on […] (c) charter flights;
The case might be different if your government buys people tickets on a regular scheduled flight, rather than chartering the whole plane. But evacuations like this are usually undertaken when scheduled flights are not operating.
