An accelerated National Firearms Register and laws that would allow non-terrorist organisations to be banned are among the federal government's top reform priorities after the Bondi terror attack.
Addressing the media following a meeting of the National Security Committee, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said progress was already underway both at a federal level and in the states.
"We'll now be drafting instructions for the Commonwealth components of legislative changes. Some of those drafting instructions will be issued tomorrow. Others will be immediately after Christmas," Burke said.

"The Commonwealth Firearms Reform package includes a gun buyback scheme, intelligence sharing, import controls for firearms-related goods, new offences relating to 3D-printed firearms, and consideration of removing merits review at different parts of the application process.
"The Hate Crimes Database and the National Firearms Register are both being accelerated to be able to provide the best possible information both to the public generally and to the authorities that issue gun licences."
Meanwhile, changes to hate speech laws would allow some organisations that don't fit the definition of terror groups, but which Burke said "hate Australia" to nonetheless be proscribed.

Burke specifically name-checked Hizb-ut-Tahrir and neo-Nazis as organisations that had for years managed to stay on the right side of the law and the wrong side of society.
"The intention of the legislation is to be able to stop them from operating. That's the intention," Burke said.
"So a number of the consequences that currently apply to organisations that are listed as terror organisations would effectively be a very close to exact match here."

Burke said legislation on both major reforms would likely be ready to go before federal parliament before most state governments had developed their own legislation.
"No jurisdictions are preventing the work from being progressed," Burke said.
"There is goodwill still across all jurisdictions. And I think that's because it's backed so strongly by the Australian people."
