Política · Programa de recompra de armas de Nueva Gales del SurEl programa de recompra de armas de Nueva Gales del Sur comienza antes de que se terminen las normas para las colecciones existentesEscrito 4 de noviembre de 2026 a las 4:57 UTCTranscripción0:07Gun owners have booked almost two thousand five hundred firearms for surrender in0:11New South Wales on August sixteenth.0:14We reported the buyback would open November2.0:17It's now operating, offering compensation, while rules for existing collections0:22remain unfinished.0:24What must owners surrender now, and what can they keep?0:28More than three hundred and thirty appointments covered almost two thousand five0:31hundred firearms by November two.0:34Those owners had booked future handovers.0:36Police haven't announced a completed surrender total, so we don't yet know how many0:41of those guns have actually been handed in.0:43The scheme runs for twelve months.0:45Existing owners don't yet have to surrender firearms to meet the caps while the0:50government finishes regulations for their holdings.0:53Owners can choose to participate now, but the rules determining what they may keep0:58are still taking shape.1:00The policy followed the anti-Semitic attack on a Hanukkah festival at Bonday Beach1:05that killed fifteen people on December fourteenth.1:08Twenty twenty-five Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the national buyback1:13days.1:13Later, NSW Premier Chris Mins backed tighter firearm controls.1:18On November2, we also reported that armed NSW police patrols had begun in Sydney1:24after the attack.1:25At the buyback's launch, only NSW and the Australian Capital Territory had agreed to1:31participate nationally.1:32Western Australia ran its own buyback in twenty twenty-four.1:36Six police stations initially take appointments.1:39Dubbo, Griffith, Grafton, Penrith, Sutherland, and Norellan1:45registered firearm owners who want to participate must book through NSW Police Gun1:50Safe.1:51Owners need an appointment at a participating station before bringing firearms in.1:56Another thirty-four stations are expected to start accepting bookings in early2:00December, bringing the network to forty.2:03For owners beyond the opening locations, access phase one pays between four hundred2:08and fifty.2:09And one thousand Australian dollars, depending on firearm type, higher value2:14firearms are intended for phase two in twenty twenty-seven, with payments up to ten2:20thousand dollars contemplated.2:21Those later payment details aren't settled.2:24The Commonwealth and NSW split compensation costs fifty fifty.2:29The initial one thousand dollar ceiling means an owner's payment depends on the2:34firearm.2:35Owners considering whether to hand over a higher value working gun also face a later2:40compensation phase, whose terms are still unfinished.2:43The four firearm cap for recreational hunters already applies when acquiring2:48firearms.2:49The limit is ten for sporting shooters, farmers, vertebrate pest controllers, and2:55other professionals.2:56The government hasn't yet formalized how those caps will apply to existing holdings.3:01No exemption is planned for recreational hunters.3:04For some owners in the ten firearm categories.3:07The government proposes permission from the police commissioner to keep more.3:12It hasn't released the precise criteria.3:14Catley offered two examples: a farmer keeping firearms across several properties,3:20and an elite sporting shooter needing different firearms for different events.3:24Owners in those situations would still need to qualify under the eventual permission3:29process.3:30NSW Farmers Association President Rebecca Reardon says, Different firearms serve3:35different jobs.3:36She points to short and long distances, animals of different sizes, moving targets,3:42and work from helicopters or the ground.3:45Farmers want the permissions to accommodate those practical needs.3:48Fourth generation Wagga Wagga farmer Alan Brown called the policy a knee-jerk3:53response.3:54He says worsening feral pest problems make firearms necessary on his property, and3:59argued the government needed a carefully thought-through program instead of a4:03buyback.4:04Brown called the compensation a joke.4:07Compared with what most guns are worth, he predicted people would surrender old4:12rubbish and keep good weapons.4:14That's his prediction about owners' choices.4:16Condition of the booked firearms hasn't been disclosed.4:19Catley argues that reducing firearm numbers makes the community safer.4:24She says more than one gun, on average, is stolen in NSW every day, turning4:30legally held firearms into illegal guns, reducing opportunities for theft and misuse4:35is the government's case for the buyback.4:38The opposition initially backed Minz's call for tighter controls after the attack,4:42then hardened its position.4:44Opposition leader Kelly Sloan called it absolute bullshit to suggest the buyback4:49would prevent another Bondi-style attack.4:51She says organized criminals and terrorists are the real enemy.4:55Sloane told owners, Hold on to your guns if you don't want to give them away.4:59The coalition promises to scrap the caps for farmers and sporting shooters if5:04elected.5:05One nation's NSW leader Mike Newman promises to abolish the caps and scrap the5:10buyback altogether.Leer el artículoCronología de la historiaHeyDexCobertura relacionadaContexto·2 nov, 5:50 UTCComienzan las patrullas con rifles en Sídney, mientras sus límites siguen
