Gang, cabal (6)

I believe the answer is:

clique

I believe this is a double definition.

'gang' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'cabal' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for clique that I've seen before include "Coterie" , "Inner circle" , "set" , "Group hostile to outsiders" , "Close-knit exclusive group" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
