00:02A young father and Australian soldier, 28-year-old Corporal Brendan Hannam, killed when a military
00:09vehicle rolled during a training exercise at Mount Bundy training area yesterday afternoon.
00:16Brendan is survived by a partner and two young children. He is a much beloved junior
00:22leader in our army. His mates tell me that he would give the shirt off his back for anybody
00:27and the thing that he'll be most remembered for is the love and support that he had for his partner
00:35and his kids. Another five soldiers hospitalised following the accident. The Northern Territory
00:41supported two injured evacuations by helicopter to Royal Darwin Hospital at about 7.30 last night
00:49and another three by plane. The young soldier is the second to be killed during defence training
00:55in Australia this year. Minister for Defence Personnel Matt Keogh saying the government
01:00has been working with defence to ensure training exercises are fit for purpose.
01:06That's something that we've engaged with Army and the entire defence force around
01:09ensuring that those systems are as safe as they can be, recognising that there are
01:13unique circumstances when it comes to defence force training that mean there are
01:18high levels of risk involved. In a statement, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said there are no
01:23safe or easy days for those who serve in our country's name. This sad incident is a terrible reminder of
01:30what families take on when their loved one bravely puts on our nation's uniform. Two soldiers remain
01:36in hospital tonight in a stable condition. The other three are being monitored at the barracks in Darwin.
01:43An investigation now underway by defence and the coroner to understand exactly what unfolded.
01:54If you leave that, if you want to think in your personal decisions orrobial circumstances do
01:54There are people who don't need to Birmingham, but you don't need to be aware of what you should do.
