Concetta Fierravanti-Wells has criticised “the Liberal party sisterhood” for lacking the “gumption” to speak out against toxic parliamentary culture, while also suggesting factional in-fighting contributed to Labor senator Kimberley Kitching’s sudden death.
Fierravanti-Wells, who has recently been relegated to an unwinnable spot on the Liberal party’s New South Wales Senate ticket, shared an emotional tribute in parliament to Kitching – who died suddenly earlier this month aged 52 – while unleashing a barrage of criticism about her own colleagues.
