Condolence sheets for MH17 victims available state-wide

Tasmanians can now sign condolence sheets in memory of those who lost their lives in the Malaysia Airlines tragedy at all Service Tasmania shops and several Council Offices state-wide.

The community is invited to pay tribute to the victims of the Flight MH17 disaster, and express their sympathies to those who have lost loved ones.

The 27 Service Tasmania shops and many of the state's Council Offices are in addition to Parliament House, Hobart.

This is to ensure all Tasmanians have access to conveying their sorrow should they wish to through these sheets which will be collected and bound into a Tasmanian condolence book.

It is the Prime Minister's intention to announce the date of a National Commemoration Service shortly.

It is envisaged that the condolence sheets will remain available for signatures and messages for several days following that event.

I know I speak on behalf of all Tasmanian parliamentarians when I say our thoughts continue to be with those impacted by this dreadful event.
