Serious allegations of bullying following Kimberley Kitching’s death have “rocked Labor” in the lead-up to the federal election, says Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton.
The late-Senator – who passed away last week from a suspected heart attack – was allegedly bullied by three colleagues, Penny Wong, Kristina Keneally and Katy Gallagher.
“Now it has to be said that Senators Wong, Gallagher and Keneally have denied any wrongdoing in a joint statement,” Mr Houghton said. Mr Houghton said, however, he was “absolutely stunned” by Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese’s response to the issue – given how serious the allegations are and how critical Labor has been on the Coalition for cultural issues.
