The day after the horror shooting and killing of 15 people at a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach last year, national cabinet agreed to take steps to eradicate antisemitism, hate, violence and terrorism.
In addition to the drafting of laws designed to limit hate speech, the government was determined to tighten Australia’s gun laws.
Among the measures was a national gun buyback. But months on from the tragedy, there’s been little movement on implementing it. Indeed, some states have pushed back against the idea.
