Australia to Tighten Gun Laws After Bondi Beach Attack

Australia will strengthen its national gun laws following a deadly attack in Sydney. The announcement comes after a father and son killed 15 people at Bondi Beach on Sunday. The attack targeted a Jewish community gathering for Hanukkah. It is now the nation's deadliest act of terror. Among the dead are a 10-year-old girl, a Holocaust survivor, and a local rabbi. Forty-two people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds and other injuries. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called a meeting with state and territory leaders. The goal is to create a unified, tougher legal framework for firearm ownership across Australia. The move aims to close potential loopholes in existing laws, which are already strict by global standards.
