Australia gun buyback to start in November, PM Albanese says

New South Wales will begin a gun buyback program in November. This initiative follows a shooting spree that tragically killed fifteen people. Australians are proud of their gun laws, but firearms numbers are increasing. The buyback aims to be the nation's largest since 1996. Individuals returning firearms can receive up to one thousand Australian dollars.
