You've touched on a point which transcends the whole media/lit issue altogether.
Some of those who were involved in running A3 are simply uninvolved in fandom in Australia. I don't understand why such people would wish to run worldcons. They are never seen at the MSFC and never seen at a Swancon or Continuum or Convergence or Conflux (... except maybe for a few hours to push a worldcon bid) and are thus unknown to 99% of fandom.
The main reason I'd like to see a Worldcon in Perth is that those who have shown interest in giving it a shot are members of fandom. By which, I mean involved in Australian fandom, not those who go to Worldcon once a year and schmooze some smofs and seldom have any input to local fandom.
