Western Australian MPs have called for an investigation into the Greens' internal processes regarding the handling of misconduct allegations against Senator Jordon Steele-John, as reports emerge of a crisis communications document and a secret dossier used to manage the situation.

What it means

A misconduct investigation into Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John is expanding to examine the party itself: Western Australian Greens MPs are demanding the probe also look at the party's internal processes — specifically how it handled the allegations through a secret dossier and crisis-communications document — and to publish key findings publicly. The dossier reportedly contained a catalogue of allegations against Steele-John, and the investigation follows his decision to take leave from Parliament while the matter is examined.

Accuracy & sourcesGrounded

The claim is based on reporting by the Sydney Morning Herald (which uncovered the secret dossier) and confirmed by follow-up coverage in WAtoday, The Age, and ABC News; the MPs' demand is directly quoted across these outlets. The core allegation about the dossier's existence and the crisis document is credible but still rests on the masthead's access to internal documents, with senior figures like David Shoebridge denying the dossier's characterisation, so the precise content and process remain contested.
