History

Historical Context

The 1996 Port Arthur massacre, where Martin Bryant killed 35 people, led to Australia's National Firearms Agreement, significantly tightening gun control laws. Despite these measures, gun violence remains a concern, as highlighted by the recent Bondi Beach attack in December 2025, which marked the deadliest antisemitic incident in Australian history, prompting renewed discussions on public safety and gun legislation.
