What happened
The first stage of the New South Wales gun buyback program began on November 2, with regional police stations in Dubbo, Griffith, and Grafton opening to the scheme. Yasmin Catley stated that firearms owners are being compensated for the change in law, which followed a terrorist attack that killed 15 citizens. Farmers have been given one year to decide whether to participate in the buyback or sell their rifles.

Why it matters
