NSW Police Consider Upgrading Firepower, New Gun Laws Proposed
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
New South Wales police are contemplating enhancing their officers firepower in response to recent violent incidents, such as the one at Bondi Beach. The police commissioner is open to considering all options, including storing more powerful weapons in officers vehicles. Meanwhile, the Premier has announced plans to recall parliament to pass urgent legislation aimed at improving public safety. This legislation includes capping firearms, reclassifying shotguns, and prohibiting certain magazines. A significant change is the removal of the New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal as an appeal mechanism for gun license revocations, giving police more authority in these matters. The legislation will also address protest-related issues, balancing public safety and constitutional rights.
