The Australian federal parliament will reconvene early at the request of the Albanese government. The government aims to pass legislation targeting "hate preachers" and establish a national gun buyback program following the alleged terrorist attack in Bondi. While the Coalition is pushing for a royal commission into antisemitism, the government is currently resisting these calls. The Coalition plans to use the parliamentary session to further advocate for the inquiry. Potential divisions within the Coalition regarding stricter gun control measures are also anticipated.
