How can they be 'shell shocked' when he was bouncing from one potential corruption trainwreck to the next every other week and his history of dining with mafiosa 'but they feign surprise they lost'. They truly have zero respect for the intelligence of the Australian public and how much they have had an absolute gutful of corruption.

I googled how does an antidote work and I think the wiki explains it well; > An antidote is a substance that can counteract a form of poisoning.[1] The term ultimately derives from the Greek term φάρμακον ἀντίδοτον (pharmakon) antidoton, "(medicine) given as a remedy". Antidotes for anticoagulants are sometimes referred to as reversal agents.[2]

> The antidotes for some particular toxins are manufactured by injecting the toxin into an animal in small doses and extracting the resulting antibodies from the host animals' blood. This results in an antivenom that can be used to counteract venom produced by certain species of snakes, spiders, and other venomous animals. Some animal venoms, especially those produced by arthropods (such as certain spiders, scorpions, and bees) are only potentially lethal when they provoke allergic reactions and induce anaphylactic shock; as such, there is no "antidote" for these venoms; however anaphylactic shock can be treated (e.g. with epinephrine).

Here is an example where they are using horses to produce the antibodies for snakes;

TL:DR the horses are given doses of Tiger or Brown snake poison, not enough to kill them but enough to stimulate an immune response. They respond by producing antibodies, blood is collected from the horses and the antibodies are extracted from the blood and purified. This can then be used as an antivenom for snakes in this example.
