In short:
NSW parliament will fast-track tougher laws on gun ownership and protest activity.
Under the proposed legislation individual gun owners would be limited to four firearms, while primary producers would be allowed 10 firearms.
Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane described the bill as "rushed" but has announced bipartisan support, however the Nationals have in signalled they will oppose the proposed changes.
NSW will be home to the toughest gun laws in Australia before Christmas with legislation likely to be fast-tracked through parliament.
The Terrorism and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 will have bipartisan support in the wake of the terror attack on Bondi Beach last week.
Liberal Leader Kellie Sloane described the proposed legislation as "rushed" and called on the government to engage in good faith with the opposition and relevant stakeholders on the detail and implementation of the bill.

"I said last week that I will work in a bipartisan fashion with the government," she told the ABC on Monday morning.
"These are extraordinary circumstances, and it requires a lot of cooperation to get it through."
Under the proposed legislation, to be debated in parliament on Monday, individual gun owners would be restricted to a maximum of four firearms with exceptions for primary producers, like farmers, and sports shooters who would be limited to 10.
Magazine capacity will also be scrutinised, with the NSW government planning to reduce Class A and B weapons to five to 10 rounds, from its current unlimited capacity.
A stronger vetting process would also be introduced where gun licenses would need to be renewed every two years instead of five years.
The government is also hoping to push through laws that will restrict protest activity and grant police powers to remove face coverings at public assemblies.
At present a police officer can only remove a face covering at a public assembly if they believe an indictable offence is being committed.
Mr Minns described the amendments as being introduced in what was "effectively an emergency session".
"Today we're introducing tough new laws to protect the community, to crackdown on hate and strengthen public safety," he said.
"I've heard members of the public say we've gone too far but I strongly believe that these changes to law and legislation in New South Wales are fundamentally important to keeping the people of this state safe."
He rejected the suggestion the amendments were a "knee-jerk reaction".
"I think it is really important that we take action in relation to guns, in relation to reducing the pressure in the community when it comes to the protests that we have seen," Mr Minns said.
Police Minister Yasmin Catley said there were 1.1 million guns in the state, and the premier added $300 million would go towards a buy-back scheme in a pool with the federal government.
Push for 'intifada' rally call ban
The premier said the legislation would ban public displays of terrorist symbols and outlaw incitement of violence.
"I want to stress it's not the end of reform and change in New South Wales ... it will require legislative and further reforms early next year," he said.
"Part of that will be in relation to hate speech ... the government today will refer to a committee ... in particular that phrase, 'globalise the intifada'.
"You see what that means, it is the death of 15 innocent people on Bondi Beach simply for practising their religion in a peaceful way."
He said the phrase was being used at rallies, and could lead to violence when taken beyond that context.
When pushed on the definition of the Arabic word, and its links to the Islamic State, Mr Minns acknowledged the proposal was "going to be met with opposition".
"Its use in common parlance in demonstrations both here and around the world are a call to a global intifada. That is what it means. Not in the Middle East, not in Israel or Gaza but here in Sydney.
"I do believe it leads to a culture and environment of heightened disunity and [is] an invitation to violence," he said.
It comes as Pro-Palestinian, civil liberties and progressive Jewish groups said they supported the gun reform, but slammed the ban on protests, flagging a constitutional challenge.
"Now we see dishonest political actors trying to outrageously exploit the tragic events of Bondi to further their own political agenda and try to silence the Palestine movement," Palestine Action Group spokesperson Josh Lees said.
"We reject the notion that our community will be safer by passing these draconian laws," Jewish Council of Australia spokesperson Naama Blatman said.
NSW Council for Civil Liberties spokesperson Tim Roberts said he believed the laws would be unconstitutional, and Mr Lees said the groups would get legal advice on a constitutional challenge on Monday.
Coalition split on bill
Ms Sloane said she wanted to see a proportionate response that is "measured" but "balances the rights and freedoms of protest".
She said she supported greater powers to remove face coverings although there would be "carve-outs" for religious purposes.
"I said last week that I would work in a bipartisan fashion with the government to get this done," she said.
"These are extraordinary circumstances and it requires a lot of cooperation to get it through."
The Nationals said in a statement that they would rescind their support for the bill after "a clear lack of meaningful engagement".
"We cannot support a Bill that relies on arbitrary limits and doesn't give our regional businesses the tools they need to do their job," a spokesperson said.
"The proposed reforms would not have stopped last Sunday's attack and fail to address the root cause of the issue — antisemitism.
"The NSW Nationals will not be supporting the legislation and will continue to stand up for the diverse communities of NSW who deserve better."
