Minister Gallagher refuses to answer basic questions from @davidpocock.bsky.social about whether they got legal advice that giving cops these powers to cancel welfare payments is constitutional

"This is extraordinary that the government won't even confirm"

Study: Receptor binding domain of SARS CoV2 spike protein exhibits in vitro liquid-liquid phase separation due to structural disorderedness that may challenge the vaccine-generated antibody binding.

Receptor binding domain of SARS CoV2 spike protein exhibits in vitro liquid-liquid phase separation due to structural disorderedness that may challenge the vaccine-generated antibody binding - PubMed
In this study we expressed, purified and demonstrated the protein liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) formation by the receptor binding domain (RBD) of coronavirus spike protein in vitro. Our molecular dynamics simulations revealed multiple structurally disordered regions lacking secondary structu …

Researchers have found the virus’s spike protein can switch between solid and liquid-like states, making it harder for vaccine-generated antibodies to block the virus. They say this phase change may weaken vaccines and help the virus evolve into new variants.

A screenshot of a Deccan Chronicle news article titled “AU Researchers Discover New Coronavirus That Evades Vaccines.” The byline shows it was written by Laxmi Pranathi and published on 24 November 2025 at 1:27 AM under the Andhra Pradesh section. A short subheading reads: “Researchers discover spike protein can shift states and hide from antibodies.” Below the header is a large photo of Andhra University’s main entrance. The entrance features a large archway with “ANDHRA UNIVERSITY” written at the top in English and Telugu. The structure is black and beige with decorative pillars, greenery visible behind it, and the university emblem at the center of the gate. A caption below the image says the study shows the virus may change form to dodge vaccines.

A government report titled “COVID-19 outbreaks in Australian residential aged care homes” from the Australian Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. The page shows a national snapshot dated 20 November 2025, stating there are 230 active COVID-19 cases and 38 active outbreaks in residential aged care homes across Australia. It notes 23 new outbreaks, 1 new resident death, and 249 new resident and staff cases since 13 November. A table titled “Aged Care COVID-19 data as at 8:00am 20 November 2025” lists: Outbreaks: 38 active (+6 in 7 days) RACHs affected: 38 active (+6) Resident cases: 179 active (+33) Resident deaths: N/A active (+1 cumulative) Staff cases: 51 active (+10) Below is a second table “Overview of active outbreaks in Australia” showing state-by-state counts. Totals include 38 RACHs with outbreaks, 179 active resident cases, 51 active staff cases, 23 outbreaks opened in the past 7 days, and 14 outbreaks closed.

New: 100+ legal experts, welfare groups & academics demand the Minister bin an amendment, allowing police to cancel welfare payments for people who have not been found guilty of any crime

@tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social is trying to ram this amendment through today

Read more: archive.is/UHu9J
"Labor’s plan to cancel the welfare benefits of people accused of serious violence or sexual offences has come under fire by more than 100 academic and legal experts. “This represents a dangerous departure from fundamental legal principles that underpin Australia’s social security and criminal justice systems,” the 116 signatories wrote in the letter to be tabled by independent Senator Lidia Thorpe in parliament on Monday. The so-called Schedule 5 amendment was quietly tacked onto an unrelated bill previously introduced by Social Services Tanya Plibersek in late October with no announcement or prior notice by the government."

Australian COVID-19 weekly stats update:

The risk estimate has been inching up again, current around 0.1% “Currently Infectious”, or 1-in-758.

That implies a 4% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30.

Yep, this!

High-quality masking slows transmission because the virus has fewer hosts to jump to for viral replication. It’s basic science, but people forget how effective it still is.

Trump's big 28 point surrender plan for Ukraine was drafted and written by Russia.

Treason Trump was assigned with delivering it in another failed attempt to backstab Ukraine and Europe and prevent the release of the blackmail Russia has on the US "president".
Nick Schifrin @nickschifrin BREAKING: After talking to @SecRubio, @SenatorRounds announces that the 28 point plan was a Russian document, not a US document. Full @SenatorRounds: "@SecRubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon. I think he made it very clear to us that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives. It is not our recommendation, it is not our peace plan. It is a proposal that was received. And as an intermediary, we have made arrangements to share it. And we did not release it. It was leaked. It was not released by our members or our representatives... This is an opportunity to receive it and that it has been utilized and delivered to the Ukrainians, and that they will have an opportunity to respond. And in doing so, you now have one side being presented and the opportunity for the other side to respond."

Trump and Vance carried out an act of betrayal that's being seriously discussed behind closed doors by allied countries all over the world. The regime is trying to run damage control by claiming the 28 point surrender plan was not meant to be the US position, despite the Trump Regime endorsing it.

In plain terms, the United States aligned itself with Russia against Ukraine and NATO. By transmitting Moscow’s surrender terms unedited and pressuring Kyiv to accept them, the Trump Regime effectively sided with Russia in the war and attempted to force Ukraine’s capitulation. It is betrayal.

Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

“It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.

Calling Long COVID a “shadow” and claiming the acute phase has “faded” is misleading.

COVID hasn’t faded, it still causes waves of ongoing transmission, repeat infections, hospital pressure, Long COVID and deaths. It’s not a shadow; it’s still shining a light on an ongoing crisis.

A Forbes article titled “Long COVID’s Shadow Lingers” is shown. The top features a black Forbes logo. Below it is the headline, author credit, and publication date. A large image under the headline shows a giant red SARS-CoV-2 virus particle dominating the scene. A small human figure stands on a barren gray landscape, pulling ropes attached to the virus as if trying to drag or restrain it. The sky is cloudy and muted, emphasizing the struggle. The image visually represents Long COVID as an overwhelming force that continues to burden people.
