Murray Olds: Australian correspondent on the planned state funeral service for the two police officers murdered in Queensland - Holiday Breakfast

A state funeral service for two police officers killed in a shooting rampage in rural Queensland will be held today.

Constables Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, as well as neighbour Alan Dare, were murdered by Gareth, Nathaniel and Stacey Train in Wieambilla last week.

Up to 8,000 people will be in attendance today, from ordinary Queenslanders to political leaders.

Australian Correspondent Murray Olds says the police force is still in shock. He says one officer explained how they deal with fires and floods frequently, but nothing like this.
