Tributes paid for ADF soldier who died in parachuting incident

Tributes are being paid to the son of former Labor Minister Joel Fitzgibbon after the 33-year-old died from injuries suffered in a routine military training drill. Lance Corporal Jack Fitzgibbon was a member of the Australian Defence Force. He was taking part in a training drill last night at the Richmond Air Base in north-west Sydney when his parachute failed to properly deploy. He was taken to Westmead Hospital with critical head injuries and passed away. Defence says parachute training has been suspended for the time being.
