绿党领袖大卫·舒布里奇表示，他理解乔丹·斯蒂尔-约翰同意在对他提出的不当行为指控进行调查期间请假离开议会，并且他这样做是“恰当的”，尽管西澳大利亚州参议员斯蒂尔-约翰在周夜表示他并未请假，也从未同意远离议会。
Greens leader David Shoebridge has said it was his understanding Jordon Steele-John agreed to take leave from parliament while misconduct allegations against him are investigated, and that it's "appropriate" that he does so, despite the Western Australian senator saying overnight that he was not on leave and had never agreed to stay away from parliament.
斯蒂尔-约翰在周日晚间发表了一篇冗长且爆炸性的声明，称舒布里奇在他上周行为问题被公开后施压其请假，并指责绿党内部一个派系在玩“肮脏的政治游戏”。他否认了任何不当行为的指控。
Steele-John released a lengthy, explosive statement on Sunday night claiming Shoebridge pressured him to take leave after complaints about his conduct were made public last week, and accused an internal faction within the Greens of playing "nasty political games". He has denied any allegations of misconduct.
舒布里奇在斯蒂尔-约翰发表2400字声明后，于周一上午召集了紧急联邦党会议。
Shoebridge called an emergency federal party meeting on Monday morning following the 2400-word statement.
自周日晚间以来，这位新任绿党领袖尚未召开新闻发布会或就斯蒂尔-约翰的最新表态公开发言，而是在周一会议后通过一位发言人发布了一份简短声明。
The new Greens leader has not called a press conference or spoken publicly about about the latest salvo from Steele-John since Sunday night, but instead released a short statement attributed to a spokesman following the meeting on Monday.
声明称，肖布里奇“坚定地认为此事必须通过公平、及时且独立的程序来解决，正如西澳大利亚州绿党所委托的那样，他一直在努力确保这一点得以实现。”
The statement said Shoebridge "firmly believes this matter must be resolved with a fair, timely and independent process as is being commissioned by the WA Greens, and he has worked to ensure this occurs."
“此程序必须确保所有相关方享有程序公平，并将关键调查结果公开。”
"This process must include procedural fairness for all involved, with the key findings made public."
“肖布里奇参议员仍认为，在当前情况下批准休假是合适的，并重申这绝不会对西澳大利亚州绿党所委托调查所涉及的任何事项形成预判。肖布里奇参议员理解休假已获同意。”
"Senator Shoebridge remains of the opinion that leave is appropriate under the circumstances and reiterates that this in no way prejudges any of the matters being referred to an inquiry commissioned by the WA Greens. It was the understanding of Senator Shoebridge that leave was agreed."
此表述与肖布里奇上周四就此事首次发表的声明不同，当时他说：“在当前情况下，斯蒂尔-约翰参议员已请求离开党团会议，而我已接受。”上周，九家报纸报道称，七名党员要求对斯蒂尔-约翰在2017年至2025年期间对女性行为不当的指控展开调查。
That language differs from the first statement issued by Shoebridge, on the matter last Thursday which said: "in the circumstances Senator Steele-John has requested leave from the party room and I have accepted it." Nine newspapers reported last week that seven party members had demanded an investigation into allegations Steel-John had acted inappropriately towards women between 2017 and 2025.
斯蒂尔-约翰在周日晚间的声明中表示，他并未休假，这与肖布里奇上周的言论相悖，并称他在周四因《九号报》报道正在发酵时，被党领袖施压要求其请假。
Steele-John, in his Sunday night statement, said he was not on leave, contrary to Shoebridge's comments last week, and claimed he had been pressured by the leader to request leave on Thursday as Nine's story was breaking.
“我觉得他利用这些会议反复施压我，让我说我会请假，”斯蒂尔-约翰在周日表示。
"I feel that he used those meetings to repeatedly pressure me to say that I would take leave," Steele-John said on Sunday.
该参议员还说：“家庭暴力幸存者有权决定自己的生活，而绿党一直如此主张。”
The senator said "survivors of family violence are entitled to make decisions about their own lives and the Greens have always said so".
“这是大卫的失误。我们在政治生涯中都曾犯过这样的错误。因此，说明白，我并未休假，也没有同意将该句子纳入大卫的声明之中。”更多内容待续。
"It was a bad call from David. We've all made those in politics. So, to be clear, I am not on leave and did not agree to the inclusion of that line within David's statement." More to come.
