Liberal Party federal vice-president says Senator Kimberley Kitching felt “iced out” by her Labor colleagues.

The Australian journalist Sharri Markson reported a number of allegations of ‘mean girl’ behaviour toward Senator Kitching by her Labor colleagues.

It’s been suggested workplace stress contributed to the heart attack that killed the Senator suddenly last week.

Liberal Party federal vice-president Teena McQueen told Ben Fordham Penny Wong and Kristina Keneally were “absolutely vile” towards Ms Kitching.

“It was incredibly cruel what they put her through.

“I cannot sit back and listen to the bullsh*t coming from those who caused her so much pain.”
