Australia will begin a gun buyback in November, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says. The announcement links the measure to the national response to a recent shooting spree, with the buyback described as part of efforts to reduce firearms access.
Japan Today reports that the buyback is set to start in New South Wales, as part of a broader national approach. The Economic Times frames the same development as an Australia-wide buyback beginning in November, without detailing state-level implementation. Overall, both outlets agree on the timing and the government’s intention to run the program as a response to gun violence.
