I fully concur with previous speakers and the motion put by the government. We honour Sergeant Brett Till and send the deepest condolences to his family—his wife, his children and his parents—all his loved ones and his friends and fellow members of the ADF. He was courage with aforethought; he possessed the remarkable degree of courage that is required to take on a job that involves demobilising explosives in the interests of his fellow soldiers. He has paid the ultimate price for having had the courage to take up that job, and we honour him.
