> New South Wales will launch a gun buyback scheme later this year after the Bondi Beach antisemitic terror attack that killed 15 people. From 2 November, owners can receive up to AUS$1,000 for eligible firearms, with a second phase covering higher-value guns. The programme is jointly funded by the state and federal governments.
