The mother of a young woman killed in Australia’s worst road crash in two decades says the plea deal given to driver Brett Button has torn apart any progress the families had made in recovering from the tragedy. Rebecca Mullen was one of 10 wedding guests killed when their coach slammed into a guard rail and rolled near Greta in the NSW Hunter Valley in June 2023.
The 59-year-old pleaded guilty to the lesser charges of 10 counts of dangerous driving causing death, nine of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm and 16 of furious driving causing bodily harm. Families said they had been left “devastated” by the prosecution decision and felt as though their loved ones’ deaths had been in vain. “I’ve now lost my faith and trust in justice — the powerlessness of it all is crippling,” Mullen said.
