Albanese pushes for stricter gun laws after 16 killed in Sydney Hanukkah attack

  • Australian PM Albanese calls for tougher gun laws after a mass shooting at a Sydney beach killed 16 people during Hanukkah.
  • The alleged gunmen were a father and son; the father was legally licensed to own six firearms, believed to be used in the attack.
  • Albanese plans to discuss proposed reforms, including limits on individual firearm possession, at a National Cabinet meeting.
  • The incident prompts a review of Australia's gun laws, which were significantly tightened after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre.

Why It Matters: Australia's gun laws may tighten, affecting firearm owners and public safety.
