Australia Tightens Gun Laws After Bondi Shooting

The government of Australia's New South Wales state is set to pass stricter gun laws, proposing a maximum of four firearms for most individuals, with an allowance of up to 10 for farmers. These measures are part of an anti-terrorism bill that also bans the display of terrorist-related symbols and limits public protests. The bill is expected to be passed by the state's upper house of parliament on Tuesday. This legislation is a response to the shooting in Bondi, where 15 people were killed and dozens injured during a Hanukkah celebration on the beach.
