Hello and welcome to our federal politics live blog! It's great to have you join us here so early on a Monday morning!
I'm Josh Boscaini joining you live from Parliament House in Canberra, here and ready to bring you all of today's federal politics news.
WA Greens senator Jordon Steele-John has released a statement overnight, denying allegations of inappropriate conduct.
Last week, Nine newspapers reported a number of current and former Greens members had written to the Greens leader asking him to investigate concerns regarding Steele-John's behaviour towards women.
The WA senator took a leave of absence after the allegations were made public.
But in Steele-John's most recent statement posted to social media, the WA senator says he's not on leave.
