Rudd on IR: Not news?

Apparently Kevin Rudd has finally (after however many state elections were campaigned, and won, on his IR policy) decided an ACTUAL IR policy.

I read a short article in The Age, which was a little light on the details, so I resorted to the Herald Sun. Only to find:

The same article. (Click for a more detailed view.)

It's not entirely the same, but The Age has the decency to admit it's an AAP article. But it begs the question - why weren't any of the Australian newspaper journalists able to write an article themselves? It was held at the National Press Club... weren't they invited? Is it too quick to press? Or is this really just a non-issue?

(I'll do a proper commentary once someone decides this is news and gets something detailed published.)
