A former intelligence officer is cleared to give evidence at a royal commission examining anti-Semitism, according to reporting from PerthNow and The West Australian. The officer is set to testify about information he gathered relating to two terrorist suspects connected to the Bondi attack.
Both outlets say the commission is reviewing anti-Semitism-related issues, and that the former spook’s evidence concerns intelligence collection rather than the commission’s subject matter more broadly. The reports describe the decision as a procedural clearance to allow testimony, indicating the officer’s role and what he will address. They do not, in the excerpts provided, detail the legal grounds for the clearance or the specific contents of the intelligence.
With only these two sources, the accounts largely align on what happened and the purpose of the testimony: the officer is permitted to appear and provide evidence drawn from his work about the two suspects linked to the Bondi-related terrorism cases.
