I move:

That the Senate records its deepest condolences for the families and loved ones of the three refugees, including a toddler, who tragically lost their lives at sea on a boat bound for Australia.

The coalition extends our condolences to the families of those involved in the tragedy off the Indonesian coast. We are all human in this place and grieve together when we see tragedies like we did on Monday. That is why the coalition is committed to implementing policies that are proven to prevent loss of life at sea.

Question agreed to.
