The following comments are attributable to Bob Katter MP, following the death of two soldiers in an army vehicle rollover at Dotswood in the Kennedy Electorate[1]:

“Soldiering at home or overseas is extremely dangerous.

These two soldiers risked their lives for our country.

I don’t think that is often acknowledged as it should be.

You can say it’s a car accident but it’s an essential part of being a soldier.

There are always great dangers.

My deepest sympathies and prayers are with their families.”
