澳大利亚绿党参议员乔丹·斯蒂尔-约翰发表声明，否认自己正在休假，并指责党领导人大卫·肖布里奇在性骚扰指控曝光后对其施压12。斯蒂尔-约翰称这是"令人讨厌的政治游戏"和"派系主义"而非真正的问责2。
上周七名绿党前成员和现成员向党领导层提交投诉信，要求调查斯蒂尔-约翰在2017年至2025年间的不当行为指控12。这些指控随后被九家报纸公开报道1。在约2400字的声明中，斯蒂尔-约翰否认了具体指控内容2。他表示，2025年期间他与一名女性短暂交往，该女性对他进行了骚扰，他因此向绿党领导层、绿党西澳分部和西澳警察部门投诉2。他声称警方调查后未作出对他不利的裁决2。
斯蒂尔-约翰指控这些指控是为了影响即将进行的党内预选而发动的，投诉信在党宣布预选时间确定后一天被送达2。他否认已按照肖布里奇的说法同意休假2。
Australian Greens senator Jordon Steele-John rejected claims that he has taken leave on Sunday, asserting instead that party leader David Shoebridge pressured him to do so following the emergence of misconduct allegations.12 The senator's statement came after seven current and former Greens members submitted a letter to party leadership detailing accusations of inappropriate conduct toward women spanning from 2017 to 2025.12
In a 2,400-word statement, Steele-John characterized the allegations as "nasty political games" and "factionalism" rather than genuine accountability.2 He specifically denied three allegations outlined in the complaints and argued that the timing of the letter—sent one day after the party's internal preselection schedule was confirmed—suggests the accusations were weaponized to influence upcoming party processes.2 Steele-John also referenced an incident in 2025 when he had a brief relationship with a woman who subsequently harassed him; he reported this harassment to party leadership, the Greens' Western Australia branch, and Western Australia police.2 According to his account, the police investigation concluded without an adverse finding against him.2
Shoebridge stated last week that Steele-John had taken leave, but the senator denied agreeing to such an arrangement, describing the move as a "bad call" by the party leader.12 Nine newspapers initially reported the allegations against the senator.1
