Australia will launch a national gun buyback scheme following the mass shooting in Sydney, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Friday (December 19). The buyback would be similar to gun reforms introduced soon after the massacre in 1996 in Tasmania’s Port Arthur after a lone gunman killed 35 people, which prompted authorities to implement some of the world’s toughest gun laws. Fifteen people were killed and dozens wounded on Sunday (December 14) in Bondi after two gunmen opened fire at people celebrating Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights.
A 50-year-old gunman, who was killed at the scene, held a firearm license and had six guns registered, drawing criticisms that Australia’s gun laws needed an overhaul.
