I can't parse the ": President" in the headline. Is that standard way to indicate that "the President said so"?

If you go to their home page and look at the "Other Stories" section, it appears to be a standard way to attribute the phrase. Think of it as Reverse Indian Notation; in North America we'd say "President: India to launch Mars mission this year".

I agree. That's just backwards. But I've seen it in the Australian press too.
