Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese appeared alongside New South Wales Premier Chris Minns to discuss the state's gun buyback scheme, agreed in response to the Bondi terror attack. Albanese noted there are more guns in Australia today than at the time of the Port Arthur buyback under the Howard government, and said the new arrangements are available to every state and territory, building on earlier reforms including the country's first national firearms register. The Guardian reports the buyback is part of a broader push on gun policy following the attack.
