Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will call for a limit on the number of firearms held by citizens and a review of the gun ownership permit, following the attack in Bondi.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the intention to ask the government to review gun ownership laws following the devastating mass shooting on Bondi Beach in Sydney, which resulted in the deaths of 15 people. Albanese emphasized the need to limit the number of firearms a person can own and the duration of the firearm license validity, noting that circumstances can change and people can become radicalized over time.

The attack was carried out by a father and son, and the father had a firearm license since 2015, owning six registered guns. Although one of the attackers was known to authorities, he was not considered an immediate threat. The Premier of New South Wales, Chris Minns, stated that gun laws need to be changed, but the process of adopting new regulations will take time.

Albanese also promised measures to protect the Jewish community in Australia, emphasizing that antisemitism is a serious problem. Authorities have faced criticism for their perceived inadequate response to the rise in antisemitic attacks, highlighting the need for a review of firearm legislation.
