(2)
records its deep regret at the human injury, the loss of property and the destruction of communities caused by the weekend’s fires;
(3)
praises the work of emergency services, volunteers and community members in assisting friends and neighbours in this time of need; and
(4)
acknowledges the profound impact on those communities affected and the role of governments and the Australian community in assisting their recovery and rebuilding.
