Labor has urged the opposition leader, Sussan Ley, to follow through on her commitments after the Bondi terror attack and support legislation dealing with guns and hate groups in parliament this week.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese agreed to split his controversial bill in order to win support from the Greens on Saturday, putting aside hate speech provisions designed to protect Jewish Australians from antisemitic hate and vilification.

I have had amazing memories here. I love challenges, so I’m up for the challenge.
