Steele-John says he is not on leave, disputes Greens leader

Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John says he is not on leave, contradicting leader David Shoebridge. In an 18 October statement responding to misconduct complaints, Steele-John said Shoebridge pressured him to agree to leave as media reports broke, and he did not agree to the leave line. He said he wants the claims investigated fairly and thoroughly.
