Quotable

"I am confident that this mission is as safe as it reasonably can be under the circumstances. But let's not forget 298 innocent people have been murdered - 38 Australians have been murdered. We owe it to our dead to bring them back. We owe it to their families to bring them back. And that is what the government is determined to do."

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said after a team of Dutch and Australian police located more bodies at the MH17 crash site in Ukraine.
