Federal Greens Leader, Richard Di Natale has called on fellow party member, NSW State MP Jeremy Buckingham to step aside, after allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women.

On Tuesday, Greens NSW MP Jenny Leong said that Mr Buckingham’s behaviour and actions had had a lasting effect on female members of the party and volunteers.

Mr Buckingham denied Ms Leong’s allegations and said an independent investigation conducted earlier this year had already cleared him of misconduct.
