About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the Port Arthur shooting on gun control in Australia and the recent Bondi attack.

It's been nearly 30 years since 35 people died and dozens more were injured in a shooting at Port Arthur, in southern Tasmania. The tragedy led to a mass buyback of more than half-a-million guns and other reforms to gun ownership. Australia hadn't seen a mass shooting anywhere near that scale in almost 30 years until the attack at Bondi in December, when 15 people were killed. - タスマニア州南部のポート・アーサーで、35人が死亡し、数十人がけがをした銃乱射事件から、今年で30年となります。1996年4月28日に起きたのこの悲劇を受け、オーストラリアでは、50万丁を超える銃の買い取りや、銃の所持に関するさまざまな規制が導入されました。銃規制の成功例として評価されてきた一方で、昨年のボンダイ事件を受け、議論が再び活発になっています。
