The leader of the Australian state of New South Wales says he will recall parliament next week to pass wide-ranging reforms of gun and protest laws

This is days after the country’s deadliest mass shooting in three decades.

The alleged father-and-son perpetrators opened fire on a Jewish Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s famed Bondi Beach on Sunday, in an attack that shook the nation and intensified fears of rising antisemitism and violent extremism.

The state government will also look at reforms making it harder to hold large street protests after terror events, in order to prevent further tensions.
