Australia launches biggest gun buyback in 30 years after Bondi beach terror attack

Following the Bondi beach terror attack, the Australian federal government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, will initiate a national gun buyback program. This initiative aims to remove firearms from the community and is described as the largest collection since the Port Arthur massacre nearly 30 years ago. In conjunction with the buyback, New South Wales announced new gun control measures, including limiting recreational shooters to a maximum of four firearms. The Prime Minister also designated a national day of reflection to honor victims of both the Bondi attack and a Hanukah shooting. The buyback aims to enhance public safety in the wake of recent violence.
