Premier says gun buyback 'a price worth paying', will fight for it at the ballot

The premier and the Prime Minister have defended a firearm buyback initiative, describing it as a necessary measure following the Bondi Beach terror attack that occurred last year. The leaders characterized the policy as a worthwhile effort to remove weapons from the community.

In addition to defending the initiative, the premier indicated an intention to campaign on the issue in the upcoming election. The government positions the program as a key security response to the prior year's violence at Bondi Beach.
