That seems to be an HTML page, not a PDF, perhaps you mean :

https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/library/publications/resources-and-
education/legislation/public-consultations-and-reviews/renting-report-
on-short-stay-accommodation-in-cbd-apartment-buildings.pdf?la=en

But running that through Ghostscript with tht pdfwrite device does not 
result in any pages being rotated (I might reasonably ask, I thnk, why 
are creating a PDF file when you already have one ?)

So I tried rendering, and that works as expected as well.

By the way -sPAPERSIZE=A4 won;t do anything useful with the pdfwrite 
device, unless the input lacks a media size request, which will never be 
the case if the input is a PDF file.

If you think you have found a bug in Ghostscript then you need to report 
it as such. Don't forget to supply an example file, a precise command 
line to reproduce the problem, and fill in the fields regarding the 
version of Ghostscript and the platform.

The version of gv doesn't tell me anything I'm afraid.
