- He denies wrongdoing and says no formal complaint has been made.
- Seven Greens members called for an investigation.

## Summary

Greens senator Jordon Steele-John says he will take leave from parliament while an independent investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women is pursued. He denies wrongdoing and says he is staying away after pressure grew for him not to attend Senate estimates, arguing that he has been excluded on the basis of unspecified allegations.

The allegations concern conduct between 2017 and 2025, but Steele-John says no formal complaint has been made and that the claims have not been detailed. Seven Greens members called for an investigation in a letter to party leader David Shoebridge, who says leave is appropriate and does not imply a judgement on the claims. Steele-John has also questioned the timing of the letter, linking it to the party’s preselection timetable.
