So I drove to the gym no problems, went out jumped in turned the key and nothing ( has done this before, I think the key is getting rather flat usually I just take it out turn the key over and put it back in and its fine) waited a minute did it again and its now cranking but wont fire.

The fuel pump is priming, any ideas on what the problem could be..??

1. Immobiliser
2. Ignition module
3. Ignition coil
4. Hall effect sensor in the distributor

Your first step should check if any trouble codes have been stored.

Ended up getting code 12 and 31, would it still turn over but just not fire if the theft deterrent signal is missing?

This section from the Holden VS service CD may help. In short, yes you can have a DTC31 and still have the engine cranking:
