To: Australian high commission officers Annette Morris and Ross Tysoe, Singapore

Thank you for everything you did in the case of Van Nguyen. Your dignified and compassionate completion of the gruesome task of identifying his body after his judicial murder, and returning him to his family, cannot have been easy, and I, as I'm sure so many Australians living in countries that retain this barbarous practice, am extremely grateful for the work you have done. I am sure this has been a wrenching time for you and your colleagues.

Again, with gratitude,
