This paper examines uses of the present perfect (PP) in Australian police media reports published on the web, as these show that the Australian English PP is currently acquiring perfective viewpoint features. We specifically focus on rhetorical relations in patterns of alternation between the PP and simple past, in order to identify discourse structural parameters underlying this evolution. We find that the relation of Elaboration plays a key role as it can lead to the inference that an event described in the PP is temporally included within or includes a past perfective event, thereby giving the PP a past perfective interpretation.
