"Ex-ASIO agent can give evidence to Bondi royal commission in open hearings, minister confirms
In short
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says he's been advised by domestic spy agency ASIO that one of its former agents can give evidence to the Bondi royal commission in public.
The former agent, known as Marcus, has been seeking a visa to return to Australia, arguing his evidence about the Bondi gunmen must be heard on Australian soil due to its sensitivity.
What's next?
Mr Burke says his evidence is declassified and could be heard over the phone, but advocates for the former agent say the safest option remains for him to give evidence in Australia."
