Steele-John rejects misconduct claims and accuses Greens leader of pressure
Greens senator Jordon Steele-John has rejected allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women and accused party leader David Shoebridge of pressuring him to take leave and mishandling the issue. In an open letter, he said a faction within the Western Australian Greens was using the claims to damage his reputation ahead of future preselection contests.
Steele-John said he was not on leave and had not agreed to a statement saying he would step away from the federal party room, adding that the party leader could not place him on leave. Seven Greens members had called for an investigation into allegations concerning his conduct between 2017 and 2025; Shoebridge announced Steele-John would step away while an independent investigation was set up. Steele-John said he could not respond to a claim about a 2024 campaign event because he had not been given details.
