Australian political leaders have united to offer support to the gay community following a gunman's attack on a Florida nightclub in which 50 people died.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the attack was directed by a "murderous hatred of gay people".
"This is a vile attack on freedom ... an attack on every single one of us," Mr Turnbull told reporters.
The prime minister said he had spoken to US ambassador John Berry to offer condolences, both in a diplomatic capacity and as a friend.
