Australia passes gun restrictions, anti-hate speech law after Bondi shooting

Published by Parlour News

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday welcomed Parliament’s passing of anti-hate speech and gun laws in response to two shooters killing 15 people at a Jewish festival in Sydney last month. Authorities say the attack was inspired by the Islamic State group. The gun laws create new restrictions on gun ownership and create a government-funded buyback programme to compensate people forced to hand in their firearms. (AFP) “At Bondi, the terrorists had hate in their hearts, but they had guns in their hands,” Albanese told reporters, referring to the father and son gunmen accused of attacking Jewish worshippers during Hanukkah celebrations at Bondi Beach on December 14. “We said we wanted to deal with that with urgency and with unity and we acted to deliver both,” Albanese added. The government had initially planned a single bill, but separated the issues of hate speech and gun laws into two bills introduced to the House of Representatives on Tuesday. The bills passed through the Senate late Tuesday with the minor Greens party supporting gun reform and …

Baksho Bondi movie review: Tillotama Shome proves once again that she is a GOAT in this stunning mystery drama | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

Baksho Bondi movie review: There’s a moment in director duo Tanushree Das and Saumyananda Sahi’s Baksho Bondi (Shadowbox) where an exhausted Maya (Tillotama Shome) sits near the railway crossing not far from her home. It’s her usual spot where she spends some “me time” every day, reading the newspaper. But it’s different this time, as she has reached there after spending the whole morning searching for her husband, Sundar (Chandan Bisht), who has been missing since the previous night. Just then, a familiar elderly person approaches Maya to inform her that the police are looking for her and that they have found a body, suspected to be that of her husband. A pall of gloom descends on her. One can almost see shock and sorrow, along with a bit of guilt, filling her face second by second. She goes numb for a moment, and then her eyes well up. Slowly. It’s not just the grief over losing a loved one that you can see in her pale face, but also this unfair sense of “I …
