Australia's most populous state is set to pass tougher gun laws, ban the display of terrorist symbols and curb protests, New South Wales Premier Chris Minns said on Dec. 23, 2025.
This comes after the state parliament's lower house cleared a bill late on Dec. 22 in an emergency sitting following the Bondi mass shooting.
The terrorism and other legislation amendment bill won support from the opposition Liberal Party in New South Wales state, and is expected to clear the upper house later on Tuesday.
Fifteen people were killed and dozens injured in the mass shooting at a Jewish Hanukkah celebration at Bondi on Dec. 14, a shock attack that has prompted calls for tougher gun laws and stronger action against antisemitism.
