> Western Australian Greens senator Jordon Steele-John says he will not attend parliament next week and has released a letter detailing allegations against him. He said a virtual appearance at Senate estimates was deemed “unacceptable” and that he would focus on the independent investigation. He denies the allegations; police closed their investigation in May without charges.
