One of Kimberley Kitching’s closest friends has called for an inquiry into whether Labor deputy leader Richard Marles acted on her complaints about bullying when she made them last year, fuelling the row over her death despite attempts by party leaders to let the matter rest without more questions.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison used the unusual silence from the Labor leadership to accuse Mr Albanese of being “gutless” because he would not face difficult questions about the concerns within his party about the treatment of Senator Kitching before her heart attack on March 10. “Perhaps an independent inquiry into whether Richard Marles passed Kimberley’s complaints on, as he should have.”When Mr Marles was asked last Friday about whether Senator Kitching raised bullying concerns with him, he replied: “I’m just not going to walk down that path.” He said the debate should focus on her achievements.
Senator Wong expressed regret, however, for once telling Senator Kitching she would understand why there was a climate emergency if she had children.
