In the wake of the tragic Orlando massacre which claimed the lives of 49 people and injured many others, PM Malcolm Turnbull tweeted out “All Australians stand with the people of the United States today, against terror and against hate.” He also attached a link to the Liberal Party’s official statement on the tragedy.

Sivan did not take kindly to the simple tweet, which failed to even mention the target group or location of the attack. And so, he unleashed a major rant against the PM. He pointed out the struggles faced by the LGBT community in a country where they are denied basic rights, such as being free to marry whomever they love!
