There's no indication as to how the 240 adults and 400 children were selected

I think it is more likely that the lucky test subjects won't even know that they are a part of this. The children will probably receive it in addition to their other shots without notice. The side effects being noted but the cause never being discussed. The adults will probably get a swine flu test vaccine instead of a normal flu vaccine, again without their own consent or knowledge.
...a senior adviser to the Government moved to calm concerns over the swine flu vaccine after questions were raised about whether it will have been sufficiently tested before it is used.
The first deliveries of the vaccine are expected to arrive next month, sparking concerns that doses will be administered before full clinical trials are completed.
But Professor Sir Gordon Duff, co-chairman of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, said the "benefits far outweigh the risks".
He added: "These core vaccines have been tested on 5,000-6,000 people already, with no serious adverse effects."

You're essentially saying that the Royal Adelaide Hospital would be prepared and willing to perform medical experimentation on human subjects without either their knowledge or consent ?
Can't see that happening at all ... the potential litigation and media coverage would crucify them if something seriously went wrong and it became public knowledge !
