Western Australian Greens senator Jordon Steele‑John has confirmed he will not attend parliament next week after releasing a letter that details allegations made against him.
Earlier this week Steele‑John said he had considered attending the Senate estimates session virtually, but was told that such attendance would be “unacceptable.”
Following days of confusion after historical complaints about alleged misconduct were publicly aired in the media, the senator posted a statement to social media late Friday night, announcing his decision to sit out the upcoming parliamentary session.
The letter, which was made public alongside the statement, outlines the allegations that have prompted the Greens party and the Senate to review Steele‑John’s conduct. No further details were provided in the brief release.
