On behalf of the Federal Opposition, we offer our heartfelt thoughts and condolences for the family, loved ones, and unit mates of an Australian Army soldier who tragically died during a training exercise in the Northern Territory yesterday at the Mount Bundey Training Area.
It’s another tragic reminder that our men and women warfighters put their lives on the line even when they are not on mission.
We are also thinking of the five soldiers injured in this incident.
We wish them a full and swift recovery, and our thoughts are with their families who will be supporting them through this very challenging time.
We await further updates regarding this tragic incident from the Government at the appropriate time.
