澳洲新闻 (ABC新闻快递) 澳总理将向儿童性虐待受害者发表国家道歉 沙特称失踪记者死于肢体冲突

Counting will resume this morning in the Wentworth by-election, as Liberal MPs begin a painful post-mortem after the massive 19 point swing against the party. Independent Kerryn Phelps remains¹ on track to win the former blue-ribbon seat, despite an unexpected narrowing of her margin² in counting yesterday. Coalition³ MPs returning to Canberra are openly blaming the result on the decision to oust⁴ Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister. But his successor Scott Morrison insists the government is still competitive.

今天早上，温特沃斯选区补选计票工作继续进行，而自由党议员在遭遇支持率大幅下跌19%后开始事后反思。独立议员凯琳·菲尔普斯仍有望赢得这个首要席位，尽管她的领先优势在昨天的计票工作中出乎意料地被缩小。回到堪培拉的联盟党议员公开指责称，这一结果要归咎于罢黜马尔科姆·特恩布尔总理职位这一决定。但是特恩布尔的继任者斯科特·莫里森坚称，政府仍具竞争力。

The PM will this morning deliver the national apology to victims and survivors⁵ of institutional child sexual abuse. The apology was recommended in the final report from the Royal Commission, which also called for a national strategy on the issue.
