There is a story going around that Senator Kitching's premature death could have occurred because of her treatment by her own party. Three of her 'sister' Senators, Wong, Kenneally and Gallagher have been named as 'mean girls' involved in the bullying. Would-be Prime Minister, Albanese's reaction has not been about Kitching, but how "yesterday" and "disappointing" it is to hear his still-with-us colleagues described as mean girls.

Senator Kitching was an outstanding member of what is left of the party's Right. Conformation of her preselection for the coming election was denied, and even her own faction would not support her. She was ostracised.

When she asked the party for an economy class fare to London to receive an award for her work in human rights (something they should have been proud of) they refused her. She paid for her own ticket.

She was treated like a pariah because she stuck to her principles rather than following Labor dogma. She was humiliated for not cooperating with Labor's weaponization of the Higgins rape allegations. She was also 'hawkish' on China, and they couldn't tolerate that.

Labor, always chuntering about workplace bullying, particularly of women, made Kimberly Kitching's work life a misery

Its different when they do it because of reasons.

The ABC website, which can barely go a day without some homage to Higgins or Grace, somehow missed this story.

If it was a story about some conservative group, the only thing being discussed would be whether to build gallows or guillotines. Paul would've already started three threads on it.

When you're support for women is contingent on their politics, you don't support women. But they won't understand that.

I have''t heard of this Gallagher sheilah but Wong & Kennealy could give Nancy Pelosi a run for her money !
They're Cobra, Eastern Brown & Rattle Snake !

ttbn,

Thank You for this thread.

Bill Shorten was a close friend of hers and got quite
emotional, fighting back tears, in his speech on ABC news.

I admired Kimberley Kitching greatly. Her views on many
things were well known. From communist China, to her championing
for the oppressed Uighur and Tibetan people. Her death has
been publicly mourned by the Dalai Lama. Kimberley was an
advocate for human rights. She spoke six languages including
French and Latin and she loved learning the etymology of
written words.

She's been described as :

"a warm, caring, happy, intelligent woman who was full of
optimism and positivity. She was curious about the world and
everyone in it."

To die at 52 - is too soon. My condolences go out to
her family, colleagues, and friends. She shall be greatly missed.
She was able to mix with all sides of politics. We need more
like her in parliament.

RIP.

Here's a link on some reactions to her death:

Sure Foxy, but we weren't talking about her and her qualities but about how was mistreated by the feminist mafia in the left of the ALP.
