Fed: PM says every possible asset being deployed in search-2

"We are deploying all possible assets to try and identify the location of this aircraft,"

Mr Rudd told the Seven Network.

"Every Australian feels this morning the extraordinary anxiety of the families of these
nine Australians who are missing."

He described the incident was "every family's worst nightmare".

Mr Rudd, who is familiar with the search area having walked the Kokoda Track, says
the terrain is very difficult and dangerous.

"And it's got a particularly difficult set of climatic conditions as well, very rugged
mountain terrain, very fickle climate."
