  "account": "A woman accused of allegedly stalking and extorting Greens senator Jordon Steele-John appeared in court on Thursday. The 40-year-old woman faced Perth Magistrates Court and was granted bail with strict conditions. Prosecutors allege the woman used an electronic device and continued making contact with the senator between September 29 and October 30 in 2025. Her lawyer successfully requested a suppression order to protect the woman's identity. Steele-John, who is on leave from the Greens, is accused of one count of aggravated stalking with intent to intimidate and one count of demanding property by written threats. He denies any wrongdoing and an independent investigation is underway by the WA Greens.",
