An interim report from the royal commission into the Bondi Beach shooting has recommended that gun reform be prioritized. The report, released on April 30, 2026, follows the December 14, 2025 attack at a Bondi Beach park where a father and son, armed with rifles and shotguns, targeted a Sunday afternoon event.
Sajid Akram, 50, was killed by police at the scene. His son, Naveed Akram, was also involved in the attack. The royal commission's interim findings emphasize the need for stricter gun control measures to prevent similar incidents.
The commission's final report is expected later this year. The Australian government has indicated it will consider the recommendations seriously.
