My understanding is that video embeds in news articles should be picked up by BrightcoveNewIE. I can see <script src="//players.brightcove.net/3910869709001/21519b5c-4b3b-4363-accb-bdc8f358f823_default/index.min.js"></script> on line 1545 of the site's HTML.

@dstftw There is a video on the page linked that I am able to play (Chrome 47.0.2526.73) above the text:

"GST reform on the table at COAG
There are eight proposals for changing the GST to bolster government coffers, explains Fairfax's James Massola."

The div containing the video appears to be "<div data-fm-brightcove-player"
