I rise on behalf of the Australian Greens to support this motion of condolence for the life of Private Ted Kenna. I join in expressing our gratitude for and tribute to his bravery. It is no small thing to be the recipient of the Victoria Cross and especially for fighting in the defence of our country, as fighting on the last line of defence in New Guinea was at that time. We also join parliamentary colleagues in extending our sympathy to his family in their bereavement.
