This tragedy is devastating news.

 

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of all those on board, including at least 23 Australians.

 

We are advised the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has established a 24 hour hotline. Anyone with concerns about loved ones should call 1300 555 135.

 

The Labor Opposition will do all it can to support the Government at this terrible time.
