Following a mass shooting at a Jewish festival on Bondi Beach in December, Australia has enacted stricter hate crime and gun laws. The legislation was passed by both houses of parliament in response to the attack, which killed 15 people. The alleged perpetrators, Sajid Akram and his son Naveed, targeted a Hanukkah celebration in what is considered the nation's worst mass shooting in almost 30 years. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated the new laws aim to combat antisemitism and remove dangerous firearms from the community. The shooting has prompted national reflection on antisemitism and the protection of Jewish Australians.
