“It’s disappointing Tony Abbott could have had the opportunity to be the prime minister that supported people loving who they wanted but instead it’s gone the opposite way.” Corr told the Sydney Morning Herald.

The film shares the story of Conigrave and his long-term partner John Calleo from when they met in the 1970s. Corr has said he hopes the film changes people’s minds about marriage rights.

“Hopefully Tony Abbott will go and see it. It might open his mind a bit …” Corr said.
