I, and also on behalf of all Victorian senators, move:

That the Senate sends:
(a)
its sympathies to the families of the 11 people who were tragically killed in the Kerang train disaster;
(b)
a message of support to those who were injured and wish them a full and speedy recovery;
(c)
its gratitude to the emergency personnel, many of whom were volunteers, who performed with great skill and dedication during the rescue operation; and
(d)
its thanks to the members of the public who offered assistance at the crash site, many of whom had been passengers aboard the train.

Question agreed to.
