Shadow Finance Minister Katy Gallagher says the "mean girls" bullying claim was never made directly against her by the late Senator Kimberley Kitching – nor did she did do anything to deserve it. It comes as Senator Gallagher has been embroiled in claims of bullying as part of a group of Labor Senators which Kimberley Kitching termed "mean girls". Senators Wong, Gallagher and Keneally have all denied the allegations against them. In her first TV interview since the saga began, Ms Gallagher told Sky News Australia she had not heard of the moniker until after it was published in the media. "I hadn't heard that term before it was published in the paper," Ms Gallagher said. "It wasn't a term that I heard Kimberley use, certainly wasn't a term she used directly to me – I think it's an unfortunate term in the sense it does diminish women. "I cant really answer any more than that – I don't think I did anything that would deserve that name but I don't think any person deserves that name on any side of the political chamber."
