Evidence about counter-terrorism funding will be delivered to the anti-Semitism royal commission, despite a federal government bid to keep it hidden.
ASIO director-general Mike Burgess gave evidence to the Royal Commission on Anti-Semitism and Social Cohesion in May, but his written statements contained redactions the spy boss said the government had insisted on.
Royal commissioner Virginia Bell rejected the government's bid to keep them hidden due to cabinet confidentiality and ruled the documents would be needed as part of her inquiry.
Ms Bell will examine the evidence, although it will not be made public.
"The topic to which the redacted paragraphs are directed is the question of the allocation of Commonwealth resources to counter-terrorism," her ruling read.
"Public interest in that limited scope of disclosure ... outweighs public interest in maintenance of its strict confidentiality as cabinet information."
