(JEWISH GROUP) Month after Bondi Hanukkah attack, Australian MPs pass stricter gun, hate crime laws
Australia’s parliament voted in favor of tougher hate crime and gun laws Tuesday, five weeks after gunmen targeting Jewish people on Bondi Beach killed 15 people.
Lawmakers in both the House of Representatives and the Senate backed the legislation in response to the December 14 shooting at the famous Sydney beach.
Sajid Akram and his son Naveed targeted Jews attending the Hanukkah event in an ISIS-inspired attack on December 14, the nation’s worst mass shooting in 30 years and the worst antisemitic attack outside Israel in decades. Sajid was killed by police during the attack, while Naveed was shot but survived.
The attack has sparked national soul-searching about antisemitism, anger over the failure to shield Jewish Australians from harm, and promises to protect the country with stiffer legislation.
