Katie Watson reporting.

Police have now charged the surviving suspect, Naveed Akram, with 15 murders as well as terrorism offences.

His father, Sajid Akram, was shot dead by police during the attack.

The Premier of New South Wales, Chris Minns, is recalling the State Parliament to press for stronger gun control laws.

I heard more about the investigation from Phil Mercer, who's in Sydney.

Naveed Akram is in hospital charged with 59 offences overall, including 15 counts of murder.

This was a man who the police say was one of the perpetrators here at Bondi Beach on Sunday.

He was in a coma.

The police were waiting for him to wake up.

He did so on Tuesday evening.

Charges were laid today.

And we also understand that this man did appear in court via a video link.

So the legal process is underway.

And there is the speculation that the real meat of the court process will begin perhaps in April of next year.

So it certainly won't be a quick process.

But so far, 59 offences.

This man is facing 15 counts of murder.

A gun control law is going to be tightened as a result of all of this?

I think what we're seeing is an intensification of the political fallout from this atrocity at Bondi Beach.

We have the federal government and the state governments of New South Wales promising to reform Australia's gun laws to try to make it harder for individuals to hold weapons.
