U.S. rapper Macklemore is the headline act to play before the NRL grand final. Former PM Tony Abbott has now added his voice to the chorus against the choice of song, supporting LGBTQ rights, planned for pre-match entertainment. Macklemore -- aka Benjamin Haggerty -- has said he couldn't be "more honoured and excited" to perform his hit 'Same Love' at the Grand Final. Tony Abbott has backed moves to stop Macklemore from performing the Same Love song, posting his views on Twitter. Footy fans shouldn't be subjected to a politicised grand final.
