Australia will introduce a nationwide gun buyback scheme and tighten firearms laws after a terror attack in Sydney’s Bondi area killed 15 people, the deadliest mass shooting in the country in almost three decades.
The announcement came days after two gunmen opened fire on a crowd of more than 1,000 people celebrating Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, in Archer Park near Bondi Beach on Sunday evening. Dozens were injured in the attack, which authorities say was inspired by terror outfit Isis’s ideology.
