In the wake of the Bondi Beach shooting, where 15 people were killed during a Jewish festival, Australia’s national cabinet agreed to implement measures to combat antisemitism and tighten gun laws, including a proposed national gun buyback. However, months later, the initiative has stalled, with significant pushback from several states, including Queensland, South Australia, and the Northern Territory. The federal government has set a $1 billion to $15 billion funding range for the buyback, but states are reluctant to commit to the financial burden, with some arguing that their existing laws are sufficient. While New South Wales has limited ownership to four firearms and the Australian Capital Territory has set a five-gun limit, other jurisdictions are still debating the specifics of the buyback scheme. The April 1 deadline for agreement has passed, leaving the future of the initiative uncertain. Federal Attorney-General Michelle Rowland is now tasked with negotiating a consensus among the states to fulfill the legislative requirements.
