Malcolm Turnbull has arrived to watch the Sydney Mardi Gras parade, making it the first time a prime minister has attended the event.
Mr Turnbull was mobbed on Saturday as he moved into the crowd, with many hands holding aloft mobile phones as members of the excited crowd tried to snap a selfie with the PM.
The member for Wentworth, in Sydney's eastern suburbs, has often visited the colourful party but he won't be marching in this year's event, unlike opposition leader Bill Shorten who is expected to roll down Oxford Street on one of the parade's 175 floats.
