Queensland has become the first state to publicly reject Australia’s biggest gun buyback since the Port Arthur massacre.

Premier David Crisafulli on Wednesday confirmed his state would not support the scheme, saying it wouldn’t keep guns out of terrorist and criminal hands.

Fast-tracked legislation enabling the scheme along with tighter firearms restrictions was rushed through the Senate on Tuesday night.

It follows the December 14 Bondi terror attack, when 15 people were killed when two gunmen opened fire on Jewish celebrations. The shooting was Australia’s deadliest since 1996’s Port Arthur tragedy.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese – who pitched the buyback as the biggest since the Port Arthur response – said Crisafulli’s government needed to justify its position.

Crisafulli said Queensland would introduce its own legislation on gun control after Canberra’s “chaotic” debate.

“Queensland won’t be going down the path of gun buyback because it doesn’t address antisemitism and hate, and it doesn’t focus on keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists and criminals,” he said.

The state’s Liberal National government would introduce legislation in the first sitting of state parliament in February, he said.

“We’ve done it in a really calm way, and we’ve taken our time … our response is going to focus on the heart of the issue – antisemitism, hatred and guns in the hands of terrorists and criminals,” Crisafulli said.

“I’ve seen what’s unfolded in Canberra – most Australians have looked at it and have thought it’s a very confusing debate, and some might say even a little chaotic, and I don’t want that in Queensland.”

The federal Labor government first tried to push through its gun laws with separate anti-hate provisions. It split the bill after failing to get the numbers in the Senate.

The gun provisions passed on Tuesday with Greens support.

Albanese said Crisafulli’s position wasn’t “in the interests of Queenslanders or the nation”, saying a uniform response such as the one that followed the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 was required.

The Northern Territory government has previously said it won’t back the plan for states and territories to share the costs of the buyback, which would incentivise gun owners to hand in their firearms for payment.

“If the federal government wants to put a national buyback scheme in place, they should fund it. I will not have everyday Territorians foot that bill,” NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro said earlier in January.

Tasmania’s Liberal government is also yet to support the buyback. It is expected to formalise its position on Tuesday.

More than four million guns are in circulation nationwide, according to figures from the Department of Home Affairs, including more than one million in both Queensland and NSW.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said the gun laws addressed the method of the massacre, but they could be as strong only as the weakest state.
