agree  Pierre Drion: It's indeed the part, when the reporter looks towards the camera and tells all about the story: it usually means that they don't have much footage or he/she just likes to be seen! I don't know if it's an Aus term, but we certainly use it here.

  -> Thanks, Pierre. It's certainly also used in the UK, so perhaps its "Commonwealth English"...
