MH17 Ukraine disaster: Australia holds memorial service
MH17 Ukraine disaster: Australia holds memorial service
Australia has held a memorial service to mark the anniversary of the MH17 air disaster over Ukraine, in which 298 people, including 39 Australians, died.
A plaque with victims' names has been unveiled in the gardens of Parliament House in Canberra.
The Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it crashed on 17 July 2014.
The West believes there is evidence the plane was hit by a Russian-supplied missile fired by pro-Russian rebels.
Russia denies this, blaming Ukrainian government forces for the disaster in the eastern Donetsk region.
Australian lawmakers interrupted their mid-year holidays to take part in the national memorial service in the capital.
A plaque with the names of the victims was set in soil brought back from the Ukraine by an Australian police officer.
Speaking at the memorial, held inside the Great Hall of Parliament House, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Australians owed it to the dead to bring the guilty to justice.
"Their passing leaves a void that can never be filled and a pain that still throbs," he said.
Mr Abbott said he was humbled by the way the families and friends of the people killed on the flight had coped.
"In the worst of times you have displayed the strength of giants and the grace of angels," he said.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten also addressed Friday's ceremony.
Those who attended the service pinned sprigs of Australia's national floral emblem, wattle, on a large wreath.
After the memorial, Mr Abbott met victims' families and friends.
A memorial service is also being held in the Ukrainian village of Grabove, close to where the plane came down, and in the Netherlands, where most of the passengers were from.
In the Dutch city of Nieuwegein, the names of all the victims will be read aloud by their family members.
In Malaysia, a memorial service was held in Kuala Lumpur on 11 July - because the anniversary of the disaster comes at the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
Each victim was named and then honoured with a moment of silence.
'Politicised coverage'
On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected calls by the UK, Australia, the Netherlands, Malaysia and Ukraine to establish a UN tribunal to prosecute suspects.
The Kremlin said in a statement that Mr Putin had "explained Russia's position regarding the premature and counter-productive initiatives of several countries, including The Netherlands, on the establishment of an international tribunal".
It also criticised what it said was politicised media coverage of the disaster.
A final report on the cause of the crash is due to be released in October by the Dutch Safety Board. The Netherlands is leading the criminal investigation and is being assisted by Belgium, Australia and Ukraine.
The Malaysia Airlines' passenger list showed flight MH17 was carrying 193 Dutch nationals (including one with dual US nationality), 43 Malaysians (including 15 crew), 27 Australians, 12 Indonesians and 10 Britons (including one with dual South African citizenship).

Aurora shootings
A man who killed 12 people and injured 70 others when he opened fire in a packed Colorado cinema in July 2012 has been found guilty of murder.
James Holmes, 27, was found guilty on 24 counts of murder and multiple counts of attempted murder for the massacre at a Batman premiere in Aurora.
He had pleaded not guilty due to insanity - his defence said he was controlled by his schizophrenia.
Prosecutors have said they will now seek the death penalty.
The panel of nine women and three men rejected the claim that Holmes was legally insane.
Dressed in a blue shirt and cream-coloured trousers he showed no emotion as Judge Carlos Samour took an hour to read through each of the 164 charges for murder and attempted murder, plus one count of possession of explosives.
There were two murder counts for each of the 12 victims.
During the 49-day trial with more than 250 witnesses, the court heard Holmes entered the cinema in Aurora where The Dark Knight Rises was being screened, armed with an assault rifle, a shotgun and a pistol.
There were 400 people in the screening when Holmes, dressed head-to-toe in black body armour, entered through an emergency exit and appeared by the screen.
His victims included two servicemen, a man celebrating his 27th birthday and an aspiring broadcaster who had survived a mall shooting in Toronto. Several died shielding friends or loved ones.
The youngest killed was a six-year-old girl whose mother suffered a miscarriage and was paralysed in the attack.
On Tuesday, prosecutor George Brauchler ran through an account of the massacre.
Referring to the cinema-goers, he said: "They came in hoping to see a story of a hero dressed in black, someone who would fight insurmountable odds in the name of justice and trying to protect others.
"Instead a different figure appeared by the screen dressed all in black.
"And he came there with one thing in his heart and in his mind - and that was mass murder."
Holmes' defence lawyer Dan King said his client had "lost touch with reality" and said "mental illness caused this to happen".
He had been presented as a promising student studying for a PhD in neuroscience at the University of Colorado, having graduated from the University of California at Riverside.
He had no previous criminal record.
His defence called a pair of psychiatrists, including a nationally known schizophrenia expert, who concluded Holmes was psychotic and legally insane.
But two state-appointed doctors found otherwise. They testified that no matter what Holmes' mental state was that night, he knew what he was doing was wrong.
The prosecution argued that Holmes' detailed preparations, including the booby-trapping of his apartment with explosives before he left for the cinema, showed an awareness of what he was doing.
He was pictured at his first court appearance looking disorientated with dyed red hair in an apparent reference to Batman villain the Joker.
Deciding on Holmes' punishment could take the rest of the summer, Judge Samour has said.
Proceedings will continue on Wednesday.
