Rachel is a 64-year-old woman living in a remote Aboriginal community. Her son passed away in traumatic circumstances in 2018. The next year, Centrelink sent a letter to her son's estate demanding repayment of $3,300. Rachel then received a letter to her late son asking him to verify his employment records from five years earlier, leaving her distraught. Does the Prime Minister believe that Rachel deserves an apology?
