I just want to associate the coalition with the motion moved by Senator Wright and thank her for doing so. There are some 48 men and women who have died on peacekeeping duties since 1947. As has always been the case, this was a matter for the Australian War Memorial, but the coalition is very grateful that the council has made the decision. It is an important one and it finally recognises these Australian peacekeepers whose names have not been on the roll before.
