来澳洲凑孙前就听说，澳洲禁打小朋友。因为不可能发生的事，所以也没在意。
直到前二天在隐秘版看到一段自诉是无意伤了小朋友被警察拘留的文字，奇怪应如何处理。
今天又刚好看到另一则新闻：
Scotland becomes first part of UK to ban smacking
Sweden was the first country in the world ... in 1979. Scotland ... the 58th.
苏格兰在英国率先立法禁打Pat pat。瑞典开先河，苏格兰排第58。

然后，谷哥了一下澳洲如何解释这类事情的
....'smacking' by a parent or carer is lawful and is not considered child abuse provided that it is "reasonable". However, what is reasonable is very debateable.

The only Australian State to provide guidance on what is "unreasonable" is NSW. Under NSW legislation "force applied to any part of the head or neck of a child or to any other part of the body that results in bruising, marking or other injury lasting longer than a "short period" is unreasonable".

Is 'reasonable' discipline a defence to assault?

对以上文字的理解：
家长打Pat pat合法，但必需合情合理
何为情理，没解释。
但不合情理可由此判断：打，头部，颈以上部位，造成身体青淤，留下伤痕，及短时间内不能复原的损伤。
有理就可以作为体罚的借口吗？

天鹅的心形构图见过很多，这张之所以不同，是背后真有一个凄美的故事

How a heartbroken swan found love in lockdown
The tale of Mrs Newbie and Wallace is one of the most heart-warming love stories to come out of the pandemic.
The female mute swan, who lives at London's Highgate ponds, rejected all potential mates when her first love died after flying into a building.
She was taken to a sanctuary and put in the same pen as a male called Wallace - and the rest was history.
Their fledgling romance has inspired an illustrator and a swan rescue volunteer to turn the story into a book.

Massive feral pig population thrives as pest feasts on harvest spoils



Millions of feral pigs roam around large parts of New South Wales and Queensland and bumper grain harvests are providing perfect for conditions for a feeding and breeding frenzy.
几百万野猪在新州昆州的田野上追逐嬉戏，丰收在望，忙着产崽。让庄稼人情何以堪。

让俺联想起澳门特产。

Waging a war on feral pigs
The Queensland Government has reported that Australia has a feral pig population of about 24 million.
"We are not winning the war on feral pigs, it is a long slog, it is something we are going to have to keep on top of," Ms Bramma said.

“I want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “She has been harassed, threatened, and abused – and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA. Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good fight, and I believe we will prevail!”

疫苗呼之欲出

Your COVID-19 vaccine questions answered
疫苗问答（问题是完整的，答案省略数千字 只取吸引眼球的。）
How effective are coronavirus vaccines?
1.效力如何?
There are currently 12 COVID-19 vaccine candidates in phase-3 clinical trials, with Pfizer, Moderna and now AstraZeneca and Oxford the first to release interim data.
辉瑞 Pfizer -- 95 per cent effective at stopping people getting sick.
莫德纳 Moderna -- 94.5 per cent effective.
阿斯利康 AstraZeneca-Oxford -- "highly effective"    （这个比较含糊）
"If you're a vaccine researcher, getting a vaccine over 90 per cent is a gold star — that's your dream," Dr Quinn said.
疫苗研发能达到90%效力无异中了金奖，梦寐以求的事。专家说。

Do vaccines prevent disease or infection?
not one researchers can answer just yet.
2.能阻止病毒及感染吗。暂时不敢拍心口。

Can a vaccinated person still spread the virus?
But it's really hard to say at this point
3.注射疫苗后还会传染吗。目前很难说。

Do vaccines protect vulnerable people?
to make sure the vaccine is hopefully going to protect groups that are most at risk for severe disease, which is a real challenge for COVID-19,
but more phase 3 data is needed to confirm the results.
4.能有效保护弱势群体吗。希望如此，一大挑战。第三阶段试验后会有完整结论。

How long will the immunity last?
It's pretty hard to know at this stage
with some research suggesting our immune response "potentially isn't that long lasting
Just last week, preliminary data.... .... suggesting protection may last years,
5.免疫期多长。目前不好说。有说，没那么长。有说，可能几年以上。

看了报道都有定惊安神的作用，何况注射之后。明年三月，擼起袖子。
