Episode Details

The federal government is blocking the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion from accessing key documents on counterterrorism funding, citing national security and public interest immunity — a move that puts Commissioner Virginia Bell in the hot seat to decide whether to release them. While ASIO’s director denies ministers directed cuts to counterterrorism efforts, redacted submissions hide crucial details. The opposition demands transparency, warning that withholding documents could cripple the commission’s ability to fully assess funding decisions — especially in the wake of the Bondi terror attack. Bell’s final call could shape Australia’s future approach to security and accountability.
