Tasmania enacts strict gun laws post-Bondi shooting, requiring citizenship for licenses and banning certain rifles, with buybacks and stronger penalties.
Tasmania has introduced new gun laws following the Bondi mass shooting that killed 15 people, requiring Australian citizenship for firearm licensing—except for primary producers and citizens of countries like New Zealand.
Certain firearms, including straight-pull and button-release rifles and shotguns, are reclassified and require special licenses.
A buyback program offers up to 1.5 times market value for restricted weapons, with no cap on the number of firearms an individual can own.
Stronger penalties for theft and possession of stolen guns, improved background checks, and better intelligence sharing aim to curb illegal gun use.
The reforms, designed to target criminals without burdening law-abiding owners, will be introduced in Parliament later in 2026.
