James Massola | The Age

David Shoebridge is genuine in wanting an independent inquiry into Jordon Steele-John. Some of his party’s supporters, not so much.

The attack on the Indi MP, if confirmed as a politically motivated attack, must be a line in the sand.

A dispute over whether Jordon Steele-John should take leave during an investigation has deepened a rift within the Greens over allegations about his behaviour towards women.

Two of the seven Greens who signed a letter to party leader David Shoebridge calling for an investigation into Senator Jordon Steele-John have come forward.

“Reach out to them”: Greens staffers took screenshots of member complaints as part of a plan to bury allegations against the high-profile senator.

In a letter sent to Greens leader David Shoebridge, seven staffers and members demanded an investigation into allegations against Steele-John spanning almost a decade.

The fuss over the ATO tax fix is a storm in a teacup. Bed-wetting Labor MPs need to hold their nerve.

Support for One Nation may have cooled, but the latest Resolve Poll shows the issue that will decide the election, the cost of living, is not good news for Labor.

Inspired by the $25 billion payout extracted from Meta in the US, the Greens say the price for passing Anika Wells’ new digital bill is the private right to sue.

Support for One Nation and party leader Pauline Hanson is softening, but voters are blaming the government, rather than the Reserve Bank, for cost-of-living pain.
