On behalf of the Tasmanian Government, I extend our deepest sympathies to the family, staff and friends of Roger Corbin.

Roger was a highly respected member of our community, and a true hero. Over the years, Roger participated in hundreds of search and rescue operations, helping to save lives.

Roger’s death, and the serious injury to his colleague has shocked and saddened our community.

This accident is being investigated by the appropriate authorities.

Will Hodgman, Premier
