A former partner of WA Greens senator Jordon Steele-John has been arrested and charged with aggravated stalking and attempted extortion. The 40-year-old woman is due to appear in Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday. The woman was charged with one count of aggravated stalking with intent to intimidate and one count of demanding property by written threats. The arrest comes as the WA Greens have launched an independent investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct by Steele-John. The senator has denied the allegations and is currently on leave from parliament.
Steele-John took leave from parliament in October after a group of current and former party staffers wrote to Greens leader David Shoebridge about 'multiple allegations of serious misconduct' by Steele-John relating to 'his behaviour in the presence of women'. An independent inquiry into the allegations has been commissioned by the WA branch of the Greens.
