Share this @internewscast.com
Chris Minns has described NSW‘s newly passed gun reforms as “the toughest gun restrictions of any jurisdiction in the country” and stated that more changes are forthcoming.
The Premier has called for more laws to crack down on hate symbols and speech as a response to the Bondi Beach terror attack.

In the wake of a tragic attack that claimed 15 innocent lives, significant legal reforms have been swiftly enacted. These new laws address protests, extreme hate symbols, and gun restrictions, marking a pivotal shift in policy.

Minns has called the new gun reforms "extraordinary measures".

NSW Premier Minns emphasized, “I want to make it clear that this isn’t the end of change. It sends a strong message to our Jewish community. We have your back.”

The impact of last Sunday’s terrorist attack has left a lasting mark on Sydney and New South Wales, fundamentally altering the region. “Sydney and New South Wales have changed forever,” Minns noted, acknowledging the profound effect on the community.

With a commitment to ensuring public safety, Minns declared the government’s ongoing dedication to reform. “We know it’s our responsibility to do everything we can to keep the people of New South Wales safe,” he stated, underscoring the necessity of continued change.

He assured constituents that the state is “not done with reform” and vowed to persist in these efforts until every possible measure has been taken to safeguard the people of New South Wales.

The NSW Premier said that the state is “not done with reform” and that changes will continue until the government has ”done everything possible to keep the people of the state safe”.

“There’s a recognition from this government that hate speech leads to hateful actions.”

Minns said that while he acknowledges that the protests are for matters happening around the world, the number one priority of the NSW government remains protecting people within the state.

“You can internationalise these issues, and I understand there’s concerns about what’s happening around the world.”

“But if it manifests itself in violence here, we’re going to take action.”

The Premier also said that similar legislation is being drafted in Victoria.
