Australia's lower house of Parliament has passed new gun-control legislation in response to last month's deadly mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney. The bill, which now moves to the Senate, introduces a national gun buyback program and strengthens background checks for firearm licences, incorporating intelligence data. The move comes after the Bondi attack, which left 15 people dead and has prompted calls for a comprehensive government response. In addition to gun reforms, the government is considering new hate-speech laws and has announced a royal commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack, including intelligence failures and the rise of antisemitism. The actions follow significant public pressure and reflect a broader effort to address both the causes and methods of such violence.
