Condolence book in support and sympathy of those tragically killed on flight MH17

All Australians mourn the loss of Flight MH17.

There were 298 people on this aircraft – and their deaths offend our sense of justice.

We grieve for all, but particularly for the 37 men, women and children who called Australia home.

Our hearts go out to all their families. We will support them through the difficult times ahead.

In coming weeks, Australians will stand with the families, friends, neighbours and colleagues who have lost people they cherish.

Twenty three million Australians share the sadness of those who mourn.

We are united in grief and in our determination to ensure that justice is done.

After today’s signing, the Condolence Book will be made available to all who wish to record their condolences to the families and loved ones of those lost on MH17.

In time, a copy of the Condolence Book will be provided to each of the Australian families.

Condolence books will also be placed in Australia’s Embassies and High Commissions throughout the world.
