Greens Leadership Rebuke Rogue Senator

GREENS co-leader and leader of the house, u/model-kyosanto, delivered a public rebuke of Senator u/Inadorable after the rogue senator endorsed Olaf Scholz in the German election, purporting to be on behalf of the Greens political party.
The rogue senator had issued a media release which contained the Greens logo, and referred to Mr Scholz as 'our chancellor' and stated 'we will fight for you'. The National Review reported on the story yesterday as Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, u/dyljam, called on the prime minister to publicly rebuke the senator.
Yesterday evening, u/model-kyosanto tweeted that they 'condemn' the senator, and that it was 'inappropriate for her to utilise the Greens logo and Government imagery for an endorsement of her own voting intentions'.
Today, Senator u/dyljam thanked the leader of the house for 'demonstrating leadership' by stepping in when the prime minister refused to make a public statement rebuking Senator u/Inadorable's announcement.
'The leader of the house has demonstrated that he is willing to provide the country with leadership, even when the prime minister is unwilling to do so', he said to National Review.
' u/model-kyosanto is a person of utmost standing in the community, and I thank him for doing the right think and publicly rebuking the senator'.
The prime minister later noted that he had spoken to u/Inadorable and that they did not have permission to use the Greens political party logo on their press statement.
'This is not a party affiliated endorsement, all members have the right to have their beliefs in [a] foreign election, and Ms Inadorable is a dual citizen'.
Senator u/Inadorable, however, did not back down. In a tweet in the early hours of this morning, she tweeted 'Let it be known that the Greens have ALWAYS supported Olaf Scholz'.
It is becoming increasingly evident that Senator u/Inadorable, one of only two government parliamentarians without a ministry, is becoming an increasing liability for the Greens political party and the government.
The leader of the house's strong denouncement of the senator's actions in the absence of an announcement by the prime minister is likely to deepen emerging divisions within the Greens political party.
It is understood that u/Inadorable is a key backer of u/model-slater's prime ministership. NR
