    Stu and all, this may seem useless, but here is the AFR article you referred to. Unfortunately, this one is scrambled- the AFR does that to some articles, and doesn;t do it to other articles. If I was a very good person, I'd unscramble it for you, but it always takes me ages to unscramble by hand, so hope this will do. It will be unscrambled in tomorrow's hard copy AFR. Meanwhile, one can get the gist by scanning through the scramble.
