On behalf of Family First I join in the condolence motion. The highest price to pay for the courageous Australians in our Defence Force is their lives. Our thoughts and prayers go to family and friends at this sad loss of life. We are just shattered by it—you think about it and you are really just shattered at losing a fellow Australian, someone who has put his life on the line to bring peace and stability for we who are in relative comfort here in Australia. We do owe a great debt to our Defence Force on the front line and their families. Our thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends.
