A man accused of a gang-related shooting mere metres from the prime minister's electorate office is set to face court.
Police allege the July 2023 attack, where brothers were shot in a hair salon on a busy suburban strip, was linked to a fatal shooting weeks earlier.
The shooting in Marrickville, in Sydney's inner west, occurred metres from a police station and the electorate office of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Organised crime police arrested the alleged gunman on Wednesday morning in Edmondson Park, in Sydney's southwest.
The 23-year-old man was taken to Cabramatta Police Station and charged with two counts of shooting with intent to murder.
He was additionally charged with participating in a criminal group and failing to comply with a digital evidence access order direction, along with drug supply and possession charges.
The victims - William and Eric Siale - were shot in the buttocks and chest, before recovering in hospital.
The alleged gunman was refused police bail and was set to appear in the Fairfield Local Court on Thursday.
After the shooting, emergency services attended burnt-out cars are Marrickville and Dulwich Hill, also in Sydney's inner west.
Police treated those vehicles as linked to the shooting.
Fourteen men have previously been charged in the investigation, including some who allegedly sourced vehicles for the attack and for planning it.
Marvin Oraiha, a 24-year-old alleged associate of an outlaw motorcycle gang of which some of the men arrested regarding the shooting are allegedly members, was shot in his car at Elizabeth Hills in Sydney's west in May 2023.
Several men have also been arrested over that shooting, which is thought to have sparked other incidents as part of an escalating gang war.
