By Editor • August 15, 2026 • 1 min read
In a groundbreaking move, New South Wales has officially launched a gun buyback program, making it the first state to implement this initiative in response to the tragic events of the Bondi massacre. The scheme aims to enhance public safety by encouraging gun owners to surrender their firearms.
Under the new policy, individuals who choose to participate in the buyback will receive compensation of up to $10,000 for each firearm they turn in. This effort is part of a broader commitment to prevent future acts of violence and ensure the safety of the community.
