Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese proposed tougher national gun laws on Sunday after a shooting at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney's Bondi Beach left 16 people dead.

Albanese said he would propose new restrictions, including limiting the number of guns a licensed owner can obtain.
His suggestions were made public after authorities discovered that the older of the two attackers, who were father and son, had legally acquired their six weapons.
"The government is prepared to take all necessary measures. This includes the need for stricter gun laws. People can become radicalised over a period of time. Permits should not be permanent," the Australian Prime Minister said.
At least 38 people were injured and taken to hospitals after the massacre on Sunday, when two attackers opened fire indiscriminately at a beach party.
Among those killed were a ten-year-old girl, a rabbi and a Holocaust survivor.
The attack, considered a terrorist attack, has unsettled Australians and raised questions about whether authorities have done enough to curb growing anti-Semitism.
