I move:
That the Senate—
- (a)
- records its sadness and regret at the death of Sergeant Matthew Locke, who died while on operations in Afghanistan on 25 October 2007;
- (b)
- notes and commends his dedicated commitment to the Australian Defence Force, particularly his courageous service in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan, including 10 years with the Special Air Service Regiment; and
- (c)
- expresses its sincere condolences to Sergeant Locke’s wife, son, family and friends for their tragic loss.
Question agreed to.
