Bondi Beach: Apparently the ‘Relaxing’ Part Needed Some Shelter Instead
KEY POINTS
- •On December 14, 2025, a shooting occurred at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, leading to multiple injuries and police action.
- •NSW Police advised people near Bondi Beach to take shelter while paramedics treated victims both on scene and at hospitals.
- •Prime Minister Anthony Albanese released a statement offering condolences and confirmed coordination with AFP Commissioner and NSW Premier.
'On December 14, 2025, Bondi Beach turned from sunbather’s paradise to an unfortunate scene requiring paramedics and police, climaxing with 18 people hospitalized and more treated on-site. NSW Police sensibly advised folks to ‘take shelter’—because obviously your beach towel can’t double as ballistic protection. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese dropped a statement full of classic leadership clichés: scenes are distressing, thoughts with the affected, spoke to AFP Commissioner and NSW Premier, trust the cops. It’s Bondi, not a Bond movie, yet the AFP’s on it like it’s a James Bond sequel nobody asked for.'

Bondi Beach reminded us all that even paradise requires shelter drills. Sunscreen won’t stop bullets, but apparently police briefings help.
Bondi Beach turned from 'I need a tan' to 'please stay under cover' in less time than it takes to lose your sunscreen.
NSW Police telling sunbathers to 'take shelter' sounds like a very poorly planned beach day with surprise plot twists.
