Kipp "Though not in the numbers they have in Russia, that have free rein to brutalise and murder gay people; which has come about because of this law."

Yes, Kipp, there's a hell of a lot more people in Russia, so the crime statistics would seem higher than Australia.
But per capita?

People are not being murdered "because of this law".
The type of brutal thug who does those things obviously doesn't care what laws exist (Newsflash: Murder is illegal!).
