Australia’s Jewish community will receive an extra $300m for security and support from the federal budget as part of a $604m package in response to December’s Bondi beach terror attack.

The government has also set aside federal cash for its proposed national gun buyback but would not say how much, as it struggles to bring state governments on board.
