（单词翻译）

And Federal Labor1 MP Bill Shorten has spoken for the first time since he acted to oust2 Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister. Mr Shorten says he recognized the need for a change in the weeks leading up to the challenge but insists he only approached Julia Gillard the day before the spill.

The Federal Opposition3 says the Prime Minister has rewarded incompetence4 by keeping the Environment Minister Peter Garrett in her Cabinet. This year Mr Garrett was stripped of responsibility for energy efficiency programs because of the troubled home insulation5 scheme. The program was scrapped6 after it was linked to the deaths of several insulation installers and house fires.

And a Queensland company has been charged in relation to the death of a 16-year-old insulation worker. Arrow Property Maintenance has been charged with breaching7 the Electrical Safety Act by failing to run its business safely.

A 53-year-old man will appear in Newcastle Local Court today charged with murdering two brothers outside their home on Sunday night. Luke and Sam Willis were shot dead in the inner-city suburb of Mayfield. Police believe the incident may have been started by a neighbourhood dispute.

And News Limited says it’s outraged8 by Fiji's new media law which gives the company three months to sell or close its newspaper The Fiji Times. Fiji's interim9 military government yesterday demanded the media organizations must be 90 percent locally owned within three months or face closure.
