I move:

That the Senate—

(a) acknowledges all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the Australian Army's elite Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) since its formation on 25 July 1957;

(b) recognises that 5 August 2020 marked the 60th anniversary of the first death recorded on 'The Rock', when Private Anthony Frank Smith (5410311) lost his life during a platoon patrol training exercise in the Avon Valley, on 5 August 1960; and

(c) notes that:

  (i) 'The Rock' is located at the centre of the Garden of Reflection at Campbell Barracks, Swanbourne, Western Australia, and

  (ii) is inscribed with the name of every Australian SASR soldier who has died while on active service or during training exercises.

Question agreed to.
