Australian Minister Burke Responds to Ex-ASIO Agent's Bondi Royal Commission Testimony

In Australia in August 2026, government minister Tony Burke broke his silence on testimony given by a former ASIO agent to a royal commission connected to Bondi. The ex-agent's evidence before the inquiry drew public attention, and Burke's response marked his first public comment on the matter.

The testimony relates to the royal commission's proceedings, with Burke addressing the ex-ASIO agent's statements after declining to comment earlier. The inquiry continues to examine the issues raised in the agent's evidence.
