I hesitated to reply but since Susan has made the plunge I have a couple of small points to offer--apart from my thanks to everyone, especially Rhina.
Richard, in Australia there are levels of media (as in America). America has "Time" and Australia has "The Bulletin". The implication is that the federal election will be undermined. This idea has more power in a country with restricted media opportunities.
Susan, "trenchant" would be very good. I was hoping to say something more sinister and invasive than trenchant. I hoped the blandness of "useful" would be more dangerous.
Thank you again,
Janet
