A very simple short question for you....

What size drywall screws should I use if Im building a partition wall
with 47 x 75mm timber and 12mm plasterboard?

My guess would be so the screw goes at least halfway into the timber,
so approx 40mm length screws?

yup, 40 will be fine. (you would probably get away with 30mm as well)

Use the correct bits on your driver:

You can use a higher speed with drywall screws than you would with other
types.

Just remembered the other part of my question.. what size screws would
I need to attach the soleplates etc to floors and walls and the studs
and noggins to the frame?

Noggings to frame would be 4" 12 gauge. The sole plate and head rail,
only need retaining from lateral movement, so you can use something
shorter like 3".
