Australia Considers Tougher Gun Laws After Deadliest Shooting in Decades. Australia is moving toward tighter gun controls after a deadly attack at a Jewish celebration on Sydney's Bondi Beach left 16 people dead marking the country's worst mass shooting in nearly 30 years. Police say a father and son carried out the attack, killing 15 people before the father died at the scene. The son remains in critical condition. Forty people were hospitalised, including two police officers, and victims ranged in age from 10 to 87. Authorities confirmed the father held a firearms licence and owned multiple registered weapons. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the attack an act of terrorism and antisemitism, vowing to review limits on gun ownership and licence durations. Witnesses described chaos as crowds fled, while a bystander who disarmed one attacker was hailed as a hero. As the nation mourns, world leaders have condemned the violence and Australians are questioning whether existing gun laws go far enough.
