Greens senator Jordon Steele-John says he has been falsely accused of inappropriate conduct
An internal probe and a separate standards referral are under way after seven Greens members raised multiple complaints about Steele-John’s conduct toward women.
- On Sunday, Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John posted a near 2,400-word statement denying misconduct allegations spanning 2017 to 2025 and publicly disputed Greens leader David Shoebridge's claim that he is on leave.
- A letter from seven Greens members to Shoebridge last week outlined multiple allegations about the senator's behaviour in the presence of women, prompting an independent investigation into the claims.
- Reports revealed a 47-page "secret dossier" from 2016 cataloguing historical allegations and media strategies. Steele-John claimed the document was intended to protect two women involved in an earlier interpersonal conflict.
- Steele-John denied sexual assault allegations, stating police investigations closed without charges. He accused an "unofficial faction" of weaponising rumours to influence upcoming party preselections.
- Independent investigations by the WA Greens and the Independent Parliamentary Standards Commission are underway, though officials face jurisdictional challenges examining conduct predating the October 14, 2024 code of conduct.
