I seek leave to move a motion relating to the death of Corporal Scott James Smith.

Leave granted.

I move:

That the Senate records its deep sorrow at the death, on 21 October 2012, of Corporal Scott James Smith, while on combat operations in Afghanistan, places on record its appreciation of his service to our country, and tenders its profound sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues in their bereavement.
