Gallagher’s denial makes a ‘hopeless joke’ of Labor’s integritySky News host Chris Kenny has indicated Katy Gallagher's denial of misleading the Senate has made a “hopeless joke” of Labor's integrity and amounts to more broken promises. “When you see the way that Labor’s circled the wagons around Finance Minister Katy Gallagher, doesn’t this amount to another broken promise?” Mr Kenny said. Ms Gallagher’s denial of misleading the Senate is “such a bold an erroneous denial that it seems to be another misleading of the Senate in itself,” he said. “From the Prime Minister down the Labor party is backing this grand deceit, this utterly transparent bluff that plays the public for mugs and makes a hopeless joke of their integrity promises.'

‘The trigger’: Kitching refused to support Labor’s plans to ‘weaponise’ Higgins rape allegationFinance Minister Katy Gallagher will be under pressure when parliament returns on Tuesday and on any measure, “should not hold her job,” according to Sky News host Peta Credlin. Ms Credlin’s remarks come as Ms Gallagher has come under fire in recent days over bombshell text messages suggesting the Finance Minister misled parliament on Brittany Higgins’ rape claim. Senator Linda Reynolds revealed the late Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching had warned her two weeks before the Higgins interview with Lisa Wilkinson that the party had a rape allegation it was going to weaponise. “Now, it’s all crystal clear, isn’t it? The trigger for Kimberley Kitching’s fallout with her colleagues and the retaliatory bullying that followed all stemmed from the fact she refused to support their plans to use the yet-to-be-revealed rape claim by Higgins as a weapon against the Coalition,” Ms Credlin said. “Labor is now clearly worried about the Kitching history here, the whole Mean Girls saga and now the weekend’s backtracking from Gallagher that ‘no-one knew anything’, which has now become a weak and watered-down, ‘I knew but only for a few days and I didn’t do anything with it’. “As more and more comes out, I think we’re all reminded again of the unique politician we lost in Kimberley Kitching because regardless of how you vote, she was a woman of integrity, and the parliament is the poorer without her.”
