📰 What Happened
This Full Story episode looks at misconduct allegations against Greens senator Jordon Steele-John. The claims cover almost a decade and involve behaviour towards women. He denies all of them.
Steele-John says nasty political games explain the timing. Reporter Sarah Basford Canales explains what is known and what happens next, speaking with host Reged Ahmad.
🔍 The Backstory
The story became public last week when nine newspapers reported that seven party members wanted an investigation. Steele-John then released a long statement saying he was not on leave, contradicting his leader.
Greens leader David Shoebridge is only three weeks into the job. How he handles the case is seen as an early test of his leadership, and the episode asks whether party factions are driving it.
🎯 Why It Matters
It is a test of how parties handle serious complaints, and whether the process is fair to everyone involved.
