1 6ADVERTISEMENTAustralian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was booed by an angry crowd gathered at ​the famous Bondi beach on Sunday to honour the victims of a gun attack a week earlier that targeted a seaside Jewish Hanukkah festival event. 2 6Albanese was ‍booed by the crowd on arrival, and later when the speaker mentioned his name during the memorial. The ⁠attack exposed gaps in gun-license assessments and information-sharing between agencies that policymakers have said they want to plug. Albanese has announced a nationwide gun buyback, while gun safety experts say the nation's gun laws, among the world's toughest, are riddled with loopholes. ‍Our security agencies must be in the best position to respond," Albanese said in a statement, adding that the review would conclude by the end of April.
