flag A deadly 2025 Bondi festival attack revealed gun permit flaws, prompting NSW to enact strict new firearm laws.

flag A December 14, 2025, attack at a Bondi Jewish festival killed 15 and injured 40, prompting revelations that gunman Sajid Akram obtained a gun permit in 2020 despite his son’s 2019 ASIO terrorism investigation. flag The NSW firearms registry, still not fully digitized until 2023, took three years to process the application due to systemic delays and poor federal-state data sharing. flag In response, NSW is enacting sweeping gun reforms, including banning firearms for those living with individuals under terrorism investigation, limiting ownership to four guns, shortening licence terms to two years, banning non-citizens from owning guns, eliminating appeals against revocation, and launching a buyback program. flag Public support for tighter laws is strong, with 75% of Australians favoring stricter regulations amid concerns over millions of guns in circulation.
