澳大利亚绿党启动独立调查 调查对象为参议员斯蒂尔-约翰

澳大利亚绿党参议员乔登·斯蒂尔-约翰因被指控对女性发表不当言论而受到独立调查。1这些指控涉及2017年至2025年间的历史投诉。1斯蒂尔-约翰现年32岁，2017年进入议会时仅23岁。1

绿党领导人大卫·鞋桥在被追问相关事宜时拒绝承诺公开调查结果。1鞋桥表示自己担任领导人仅两周，在本周收到七名党员发出的要求调查"令人担忧的行为"的信件之前才得知这些指控。1新南威尔士州绿党青年组织在2018年10月的会议记录中曾提出过性骚扰指控。1鞋桥称收到投诉后立即采取了行动。1

斯蒂尔-约翰已请假离开党团，并全面否认这些指控。1他担任绿党残障和心理健康问题的发言人，并领导了反对国家残障保险计划削减的活动。1

Australia's Greens party has ordered an independent investigation into Senator Jordon Steele-John following allegations that he made inappropriate comments about women.1 The 32-year-old senator, who entered parliament at age 23 in 2017, has taken leave from the party group and has comprehensively denied the allegations.1

Party leader David Shoebridge faced pressure over what the Greens knew about the accusations prior to launching the inquiry.1 Shoebridge refused to commit to making the investigation's findings public, claiming he only became aware of the allegations upon receiving a letter from seven party members this week demanding an investigation into "concerning behaviour."1 The leader, who has held his position for only two weeks, stated he took immediate action after receiving the complaints.1

However, the allegations span a much longer period, with complaints documented dating from 2017 to 2025, including a reference to sexual harassment allegations in October 2018 meeting minutes from the New South Wales Greens youth organization.1

Steele-John serves as the party's spokesperson on disability and mental health issues and has led campaigns opposing cuts to the National Disability Insurance Scheme.1
