'Sensible gun reform': Australia launches buyback after Bondi terror attack

Australia is initiating a nationwide gun buyback program in November, beginning with New South Wales, as a direct response to the December 14, 2025, terror attack at a Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration. The program aims to remove firearms that are now restricted or prohibited under new gun control laws enacted following the attack, which killed 15 people. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated the buyback is a crucial step in "meaningful nationwide gun reform" to prevent future acts of violence, emphasizing that "fewer dangerous guns in our community means a safer New South Wales."

'Our first president could have remained all-powerful': Ex-presidents reflect on presidential limits

Former presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama have contributed essays to a project examining American presidential history, notably avoiding direct mention of Donald Trump. The "In Pursuit" series, curated by U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan, features essays by former presidents, historians, and authors on past presidents and first ladies. Though intended to be non-partisan, the essays, published weekly into December, implicitly address contemporary concerns about the use of power, democratic health, and the integrity of the presidency, particularly in the context of the Trump era.
