Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on Monday (December 15, 2025) that the government is considering tougher gun control measures following a devastating mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, which claimed 15 lives—the deadliest incident of its kind in the country since 1996.
The attack, carried out on Sunday evening by a father-son duo, targeted crowds enjoying the iconic beach. Authorities revealed the 50-year-old father legally owned six firearms, all suspected to have been used in the violence. 🚨
Albanese emphasized the urgent need for reforms, including limits on personal firearm ownership. "We must act now to prevent such tragedies," he stated, adding that "no option is off the table" in updating Australia’s gun laws.
This year’s tragedy has reignited national debates about public safety and firearm accessibility, with many young Australians taking to social media under hashtags like #NeverAgainAUS to demand action. 🌊💔
