Following the Bondi terror attack, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is recalling parliament next Monday to fast-track new hate speech and gun laws. The proposed legislation will establish a new racial vilification offense and measures to crack down on "hate preachers." It will also include provisions for a large-scale gun buyback program, the biggest since the Port Arthur massacre. Albanese is urging the Coalition and the Greens to support the urgent legislation. The aim is to address hate speech and gun control in the wake of the recent tragedy.
