Will the Bondi shooting lead to gun reform?
In the wake of the Bondi Beach mass shooting, the Prime Minister has vowed to "dedicate every single resource required" to the response. Anthony Albanese has labelled the terrorist attack an act of "pure evil antisemitism" and promised that Australians will eradicate the "scourge" together. As National Cabinet gets set for an emergency meeting this afternoon, the Prime Minister says he's putting gun reform on the agenda, with a proposal to be considered that would include putting limits on the number of guns that can be used or licenced by individuals and a review of licences over a period of time. And while investigations continue, Opposition leader Sussan Ley says anti-Semitism has been left to "fester" in Australia, and has urged the Government to implement the recommendations from the antisemitism envoy in full.
