Jordon Steele-John’s position remains in limbo as Greens prepare for moment in spotlight
Greens senator Jordon Steele-John's position in the party remains unresolved more than a week after allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women emerged. New Greens leader David Shoebridge announced Steele-John's leave pending an independent probe, but Steele-John denies the allegations and disputes agreeing to leave. Only a two-thirds vote of the party room could force his expulsion, a move that would be a serious step. The matter will test Shoebridge's leadership as Senate estimates approaches and the Greens decide whether Steele-John should continue his disability portfolio duties.
