An ugly internal Greens war

Tensions inside the Greens are boiling over.
WA Senator Jordon Steele-John says rumours about his conduct are being weaponised for political purpose - allegations he strongly denies.
Now he’s taken to social media to insist he’s “not on leave" - and accused his own party leader, David Shoebridge, of pressuring him to step aside.
So with a new leader trying to find his feet, just how damaging is this very public dispute for the Greens?
And PK and Jacob has some free advice for Labor following a tense sitting week - is it time for a reshuffle?
Patricia Karvelas and Jacob Greber break it all down on Politics Now.
