NSW gun buyback sparks political debate

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

New South Wales is implementing strict gun laws and Australia's largest gun buyback in 30 years, requiring more than a quarter of a million weapons to be surrendered and destroyed across the state. The reforms, introduced in response to the Bondi terror attack, will affect the state's 50,000 licence holders. NSW Opposition Leader Mark Speakman criticises the measures as a half-baked solution that targets law-abiding farmers and sporting shooters rather than terrorists and organised criminals responsible for street violence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
