A disability rights advocate and politician; he replaced Scott Ludlam, who resigned after realising his New Zealand citizenship had not been renounced. On 27 October 2017, the High Court of Australia, sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns, ordered the Australian Electoral Commission to conduct a recount of senate ballots in Western Australia, and Steele-John was declared elected[1] at age twenty-three, making him the youngest sitting member in the Australian parliament and youngest senator.[2] Early life and careerBorn in the United Kingdom, Steele-John migrated as a young child to Australia with his parents. Steele-John is a disability advocate who, as a student, stood for the Greens in both federal and state elections. Steele-John studied some politics at Macquarie University by correspondence. However, his sudden unexpected appointment to the senate cut short his undergraduate studies. Steele-John uses a wheelchair due to mild cerebral palsy.[2] He has an English accent,[3] but is "absolutely sure" of his single-citizenship of Australia, having renounced British citizenship at age eighteen in preparation for the 2013 federal election.[4] Political careerPrior to being listed as third senate candidate for the Greens in the 2016 federal election (behind Scott Ludlam and Rachel Siewert), Steele-John had been a candidate for the WA Greens three times. He ran in the March 2013 state election in the electorate of Warnbro (receiving 8.8% primary vote), the September 2013 federal election in the electorate of Fremantle (receiving 11.9% primary vote) and in the April 2014 special half-senate election which followed the result of the 2013 election being voided by the Court of Disputed Returns (as the fourth candidate on the Greens' list). Steele-John entered the Australian Senate in the wake of two Greens senators being forced to resign due to being dual citizens in contravention of section 44 of the Australian Constitution; in particular, Scott Ludlam in Western Australia.[5] Steele-John was named the McKinnon Emerging Political Leader of the Year in March 2019 for his leadership as a disability advocate.[6][7] Political positionsDisability rightsIn February 2018, Steele-John called for a Royal Commission into disabled prisoner abuse.[8] In April 2018, Steele-John commented on Parliament House's need to become more wheelchair friendly, as he had personally experienced difficulties accessing parts of it.[9] Video gamesIn February 2018, Steele-John expressed disappointment at the lack of government support for the Australian video game development industry.[10][11] Voting ageIn April 2018, Steele-John announced he would introduce a bill to lower the voting age to sixteen.[12] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/i-want-the-job-22yearold-greens-jordon-steelejohn-to-replace-scott-ludlam-in-senate-20170720-gxf1q0.html |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=20 July 2017 |title= 'I want the job': 22-year-old Greens Jordon Steele-John to replace Scott Ludlam in Senate |first=Adam |last=Gartrell |accessdate=22 July 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/meet-the-22yearold-university-student-in-line-to-become-an-instant-senator/news-story/69e18be31cc6ca9e2c0d35bd74892bf3 |title=Meet the 22-year-old university student in line to become an instant senator |date=19 July 2017 |first=Dana |last=McCauley |newspaper=news.com.au |accessdate=22 July 2017}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/i-want-the-job-22yearold-greens-jordon-steelejohn-to-replace-scott-ludlam-in-senate-20170720-gxf1q0.html|title='I want the job': 22-year-old Greens Jordon Steele-John to replace Scott Ludlam in Senate|date=20 July 2017|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=22 August 2017|language=en-AU}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Donovan|first1=Samantha|title=Jordon Steele-John ready to take Scott Ludlam's Senate seat|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-07-21/jordon-steele-john-ready-to-take-scott-ludlam-senate-spot/8729536|accessdate=2 April 2018|publisher=ABC News|date=21 July 2017}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-07-21/jordon-steele-john-ready-to-take-scott-ludlam-senate-spot/8729536|title=Ludlam's likely replacement Steele-John wants to open doors for people with disabilities|date=21 July 2017|work=ABC News|access-date=22 July 2017|language=en-AU}} 6. ^{{Cite news |last=Koziol |first=Michael |url=https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/she-s-quite-remarkable-penny-wong-awarded-major-prize-for-political-leadership-20190319-p515h4.html |title='She's quite remarkable': Penny Wong awarded major prize for political leadership |date=20 March 2019 |work=Sydney Morning Herald |access-date=30 March 2019}} 7. ^{{Cite web |url=https://about.unimelb.edu.au/newsroom/news/2019/march/penny-wong-and-jordon-steele-john-celebrated-for-political-leadership |title=Penny Wong and Jordon Steele-John celebrated for political leadership |author= |date=20 March 2019 |website=University of Melbourne Newsroom |publisher=University of Melbourne |access-date=30 March 2019}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2018/02/07/disabled-prisoners-raped-abused-kept-in-solitary-in-australia-report-says_a_23354930/ |title=Disabled Australian Prisoners Raped, Abused, Kept In Solitary |work=HuffPost Australia |last=Butler |first=Josh |date=7 February 2018 |accessdate=12 February 2018}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Jordon Steele-John has the loneliest seat in the Senate, and it's locking him out of the parliamentary process|url=https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/jordon-steele-john-has-the-loneliest-seat-in-the-senate-and-its-locking-him-out-of-the-parliamentary-process/ar-AAvleES|accessdate=3 April 2018|work=www.msn.com|language=en-AU}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-05/video-game-developers-express-frustration-at-government-inaction/9395076 |title=Video game developers express frustration at Government inaction |work=ABC News (Australia) |last=Beech |first=Alexandra |date=5 February 2018 |accessdate=12 February 2018}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.innovationaus.com/2018/02/Game-devs-will-now-look-offshore |title=Game devs will now look offshore |work=InnovationAus |last=Sadler |first=Denham |date=7 February 2018 |accessdate=12 February 2018}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.perthnow.com.au/politics/greens/wa-greens-senator-jordon-steele-john-pushes-to-drop-voting-age-to-16-ng-b88814739z|title=WA Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John pushes to drop voting age to 16 |work=PerthNow|date=23 April 2018|accessdate=24 April 2018}} External links
