Senator Joyce said he was deeply saddened to hear of the death of 21 year old Sapper Jamie Larcombe of the 1st Combat Engineer Regiment, Darwin.

Every time there is a death a family is left with an immense loss and Australia is left with an immense personal debt to someone who has put their life on the line.

The Larcombe family and Sapper Larcombe’s girlfriend should know that we have them in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
