Federal Labor leader Anthony Albanese will push for an internal party award to be set up in Kimberley Kitching's name in the wake of the Victorian senator's sudden death.
Senator Kitching, who died on March 10 aged 52 of a suspected heart attack, was farewelled by her family and MPs from across the political spectrum in Melbourne on Monday.
Mr Albanese has written to the ALP national executive to ask for the establishment of a Kimberley Kitching Human Rights Award in recognition of her parliamentary work.
