Checked and cleaned the earths for the battery. Also checked the starter connections as well. I went ahead and replaced the ignition switch just as one more thing to rule out.
So in the end I had to concede defeat and take it to a professional. There is a good reason why auto sparky is separate trade.
I had failed to notice some hidden dodgy wiring done by a previous owner which included a SPEAKER CABLE CONNECTOR holding two wires together with grub screws. He also found that in the same conduit another fusible link that I was unaware of that was full of dirt and shit and barely making any contact.
I'm $120 poorer, but at least it is fixed. Talking to him he said the symptoms of my issue would have lead him to look into the ignition switch as well. So I can take some comfort I was kind of on the right path.
