Bondi Beach terror attack suspect charged with 19 more offences while held in supermax prison

Now, the suspect has been revealed to have been charged with 19 more offences - bringing the total to a staggering 78.

Those are 10 counts of "shoot at with intent to murder", six of discharging a firearm with intent to resist arrest, and three of causing wounding or grievous bodily harm with intent to murder.

The 24-year-old alleged terrorist has still not entered a plea to any of the charges despite a series of court appearances.

He is being held in the Goulburn Supermax prison, more than a hundred miles southwest of Sydney.

The new charges were filed in April but have only now been confirmed by authorities.

Prosecutors sought another extension on Wednesday to file a huge brief of evidence, with a deadline slated for August 12.

One said they were still working through about 230,000 CCTV images and numerous devices "from other persons purportedly linked to the defendant" that required translation.

She told the court: "We are progressing really steadily and well through the preparation of this matter towards charged verification."

Akram's father Sajid, 50 was also armed and fired into the crowd on the beloved beach as Jewish worshippers were enjoying a "Chanukah by the Sea" celebration.

He was shot dead by police at the scene on December 14, 2025.

In the wake of the shooting, demands grew for Australia to establish a Royal Commission - the most powerful kind of inquiry in the country.

After overwhelming pressure, and despite initially refusing to launch one, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese gave a probe the green light.

The Royal Commission later delivered its first set of findings, and was swiftly accused of failing to address Islamist extremism in Australia.

The interim report, released in late April, found "no issue requiring urgent or immediate action" - despite the attack claiming 15 lives.

Akram's case being active means the scope of the report has been limited.

But the president of the Australian Jewish Association, Robert Gregory, told Sky News Australia its credibility was weakened by a "failure to address Islamism".

"The report's credibility is undermined by its failure to address the issue of radical Islamist extremism,” he said. "No serious analysis of the lead-up to the Bondi massacre can ignore this."

But Mr Albanese has also drawn the ire of Australia's Muslims for not going far enough on Palestine - despite recognising it as a state.

He was infamously chased out of a mosque in Sydney in April where he was met with chants of "genocide supporters" and "get him out of here".

One individual was even removed by the mosque's security before Mr Albanese left the event, ABC reported.

But the Prime Minister - just hours after the ordeal - declared he was "proud" of the "diversity" in Australia.

"Australia's diversity is our strength. And I’m proud our team is as diverse as the communities we represent," he said.
