Commissioner Overrules Government Secrecy

The Royal Commission into anti-Semitism just hit a major milestone as Commissioner Virginia Bell overruled the government’s attempt to hide sensitive evidence from ASIO chief Mike Burgess. While the government claimed cabinet confidentiality and public interest immunity, Bell insisted the information must be shared—but only with cleared personnel, with redacted parts kept private. She argued that limited disclosure is vital for the commission’s work and that public interest outweighs secrecy. This comes as hearings prepare to begin June 29th, with Bell’s final report due around the one-year anniversary of the Bondi terror attack.
