Greens senator Jordon Steele-John has denied allegations of inappropriate conduct raised in a letter to the Greens, which he says included false allegations of sexual assault, and blamed the public fallout from the allegations against him on party "factionalism".
The Greens have been in crisis management since the existence of a 47-page dossier surfaced about how the WA Greens would manage media coverage of allegations made about Senator Steele-John.
It was previously reported Senator Steele-John had taken leave from the party room last week after a letter from seven party members was sent to the office of Greens leader David Shoebridge.
According to media reports the letter alleged the writers were aware of "multiple allegations" about his behaviour in the presence of women, although none of the writers was said to have direct knowledge of "the matters involved", according to Senator Shoebridge.
In a public statement on social media, Senator Steele-John said, among the false allegations made against him, was an allegation of sexual assault, which police had investigated and made no adverse findings against him, with a finding of no charges.
He said that, with respect to that complaint, he had faced abuse and threats before the original complaint to police was made.
Senator Steele-John addressed several other allegations which he said were put to him by a journalist, which are now the subject of an internal Greens investigation.
