SYDNEY: Australia’s New South Wales state parliament was recalled on Monday to vote on proposed new laws that would impose major curbs on firearm ownership, ban the display of terror symbols and restrict protests, following a mass shooting at Bondi Beach. The state parliament was recalled for two days from Monday to debate the firearm legislation, which would cap the number of firearms a person can own at four, or up to 10 for certain groups, such as farmers.

Albanese said Australia has more guns now than 30 years ago, when the country's deadliest-ever mass shooting took place.

Prime minister says tighter firearms laws are needed as police lift crime scene and mourners honour 15 victims
