This is a letter sent by---Bri-Oni Mgueuene .> Dont look at this page I am very angry at this low-life, uncaring and greedy so called government. I have just received at phone call from one of my beautiful granddaughters. She was crying. In fact she was sobbing so hard I couldnt understand her for the first five minutes. When I finally got her to calm down a little, I asked her to tell me what was wrong, which started another round of crying, so I told her to put her mum on the phone (my eldest daughter) She did, but her mum wasnt much better, she was crying too. What she told me made me so very angry that I could hardly speak. I want to cry myself, but I am too angry to cry. I want to scream, hit something, break something, but I cant. I have to hold myself together and carry on, because tomorrow, I have to make funeral arrangements for my mum. You see, my mum lived on her own. She was getting on in years, but was very independent. She had a few health problems, but between my kids and me, we took care of her. She was on the old age pension and a small bequest from dad when he died. It didnt leave her much for luxuries, but we made sure she had her small pleasures. She had her dog and she seemed to be managing Ten days ago mum got a letter from Centrelink, saying they needed her to come in for a review of her pension, just to see if she was getting the right amount. She went in the next day, my eldest son drove her in, and she had her interview. Everything seemed okay and we all relaxed. But it wasnt okay Mum got another letter from Centrelink on Thursday. the letter said that because mum had the bequest from dad, just a few thousand dollars that she was saving for her great grandkids and her funeral, she was earning too much money for the full pension, so was going to get thirty dollars a fortnight less. Also, because she had been on the pension for six years and hadnt told Centrelink about dad leaving her the money, she would have to pay some back, at a rate of twenty-five dollars a fortnight. They also wanted her to come in for a formal interview because she had been defrauding the government. She rang them up and they said that she could be sent to jail for fraud. Now we didnt know any of these latest developments had happened. Mum didnt tell us. She wrote it all down in a letter and then my mum, my loving, caring, independent mum, took an overdose of her sleeping tablets and quietly slipped away. She did this as she did not want to be a burden on us and she could not face the embarrassment of going to court, if it got that far. She gave her dog the sleeping tablets too, because he wouldnt have been happy without her, which is true. Mums next door neighbour rang my daughter when she noticed the lights were not on and my daughter and granddaughter went to mums and let themselves in and found mum and Snapper (the dog) on the bed. The letter was next to mum. They rang an ambulance and the police and coroner came and finally mum was taken to the funeral home, where I will have to go tomorrow to make the arrangements. My children and my granddaughter will be with me and mum will be laid to rest. But Im not resting. This bloody callous, greedy, thieving government, these bastards in charge of our lives killed my mum. She might have been the one to have actually taken the tablets, as far as I am concerned, as far as my kids and grandkids are concerned, these bastards, these low-lifes, these shifty thieves murdered my mum and I will never, ever, forgive them I hope they burn in hell. I loath them and I just...... Im sorry to let this out here, but my kids are exhausted and I cant load them down with this....anger.....this all consuming rage I am feeling at the moment. Telling you guys what happened has helped to calm me a bit. My youngest son is coming home soon. He has been helping his sister calm her daughter down. I will not sleep tonight, but I might try to read. Thank you for listening. Im calmer now. Oh god. They killed my mum, my poor defenceless mum. Going to cry now
