ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

Good morning. Here's what's happening now:

Physicists have discovered that chameleon tongue mucus is 400 times stickier than human saliva. This is what allows them to snatch prey up to one-third of their own weight. Physicists studied the mucus by rolling steel balls across it.

Here's what's coming up:

  • 8:05am AEST: Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott will be talking to Radio National

  • 10:00am AEST: The Royal Commission is holding a public hearing in Sydney to hear about the experiences of men and women who were sexually abused as children in certain divisions of the ADF

  • 10:30am AEST: Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will attend the Kenbi Land Claim handover ceremony near Darwin Harbour

  • 12:30pm AEST: Julie Bishop and Tanya Plibersek will take part in the deputy leaders debate at the National Press Club
