Back to EpisodesAustralia's Gun Buyback Plan Faces State Resistance
Description
Australias national gun buyback plan, aimed to destroy surplus, banned, and illegal firearms after the Bondi Beach terror attack, faces resistance from key states like Queensland and the Northern Territory. Despite Senate approval for funding, these states rejected the federal split-payment model and any caps on personal gun ownership. Queensland and NT leaders prioritize their territories interests over federal mandates, while Victoria and South Australia remain uncommitted. Western Australia and Tasmania launched voluntary buybacks, weakening Albaneses post-attack reforms and highlighting the patchwork nature of gun laws.
