IN A trifecta of poor reasoning, Ted Lapkin manages to adjure three hopeless arguments adjoin same-sex alliance (''Too abundant to bear'', 28/8). First comes the affirmation that it will accessible the floodgates to polygamous and incestuous marriages back the aforementioned acumen that justifies same-sex marriages justifies these unions. False: the accompaniment has adequate absolute affidavit to prohibit these unions. These accommodate bequest law and health.

Second comes the affirmation that bigotry based on beastly acclimatization is not akin to racism because chase is not beneath autonomous control, while acting on one's beastly desires is. This altercation slides from the voluntariness of alone accomplishments to the voluntariness of acclimatization - the aberration of equivocation.

Third, Lapkin identifies a base that would absolve the state's action in prohibiting same-sex marriages: the wellbeing of children. Unfortunately, Lapkin provides no affirmation for the advanced of adequate parenting arrange in this regard. And this is barefaced because abstraction afterwards abstraction has apparent that adequate alliance enjoys no such advantage back it comes to adopting children.

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DIRK BALTZLY, Monash University

TED Lapkin's capital altercation to gay alliance is that any change to the Alliance Act would ''open the floodgates to a added accelerate bottomward the glace abruptness of amusing disintegration''. The facts are not with him. The Alliance Act has been afflicted already to acquiesce a amount of sharia law into Australia. Changes to the Ancestors Law Act in 2008 meant that polygamous religious marriages entered into in Australia are additionally recognised as de facto marriages. That agency a additional wife can be validly affiliated beneath Islamic law and become a de facto wife beneath Australian law with the entitlements of added de factos. This change began in 2008 and aflame little opposition, afar from that of Bronwyn Bishop.

MALCOLM RONAN, North Balwyn

WHY every time anyone opposes gay marriage, the analytic footfall is to bound beeline into sex with one's ancestors associates (incest), several added bodies (polygamy) or some affectionate of alien beastly (bestiality)? Has anyone who opposes this altercation anytime advised the actuality that gay bodies who are entering into a accord alone accomplish to one person, who is neither animal, nor ancestors member, nor polygamous, nor any ambit of foodstuff. Stop authoritative antic arguments.

LAURI SACKER, Elsternwick

THE affair that consistently seems to be missing in the aforementioned sex-marriage agitation is the acumen for alliance itself. Alliance exists for one acumen and one acumen only: the alliance of assets. Yes, you can ally for adulation and you can ally for accouchement but the primary acumen that alliance came into actuality is because addition who was not too able-bodied off capital their babe or son to ally addition who was abundant bigger off, thereby adequate bigger off themselves.

Let's face it; no one needs to be affiliated to accession a adolescent or to be in love. But the laws for affiliated couples action abundant bigger banking aegis than do the laws for de facto couples. Same-sex couples would be abundant bigger off financially if they were accustomed to marry. Is that the absolute acumen for all the opposition?

DAVID JEFFERY, East Geelong

LAPKIN may be able to carelessness his indigenous origins and its cultural accouterment far easier than anyone can change their sexuality. As a survivor of baleful anticipation angry my female over my teens, it's a antisocial insult that he would anticipate actuality gay is alone a best of activity. We abatement in adulation and we appetite to allotment that account aloof like anybody else. Same-sex alliance will be addition abundant footfall aggressive up that glace abruptness from breadth bodies anticipation it their God-given obligation to bean homosexuals and adulterers to afterlife alfresco their village.

IF WE say no to gay alliance on the base of Ted Lapkin's argument, again absolutely we charge additionally abjure alliance to people, such as myself, who are clumsy to accept accouchement for whatever reason. For, according to Lapkin, the academy of alliance is primarily for bearing and appearance children.

ANN WILSON, Castlemaine

AS A above ''Westie'' who was built-in and aloft in Wendouree West, it angered me to apprehend the commodity on Wendouree West (28/8). For 21 years I lived in what you referred to as the ''ghetto'' and I never lived in a abode with ''windows boarded up with corrugated iron'', nor was I amidst by ''social dysfunction, crime, busted-up families, brainy affliction and actuality abuse''.

My parents accept lived there for added than 40 years and accept no ambition of leaving. Why would they? It's peaceful, tidy and family-oriented.

Your adventure paints a account of a bankrupt association with no approaching and it is absolutely untrue. Like any suburb in any boondocks in any state, Wendouree West has its fair allotment of socially challenged bodies who like to breach the law, but accidental acts of graffiti such as aerosol painting ''Westies'' on anchorage are usually done by outsiders to abash those who alive in the breadth … not as a brand of honour.

In commendations to the account that bodies actuality are ''mostly poor and alone white'', Wendouree West over the accomplished several years has become the amusing hub for Sudanese refugees.

I will not say that I am appreciative to be a ''Westie'' because this appellation belongs alone to the bent aspect who becoming it! But I will say that I am appreciative of the way in which I was raised, the breadth in which I was aloft and the association that amidst me. Your biographer did get one affair appropriate … Wendouree West is and has consistently been a association with a able and assault heart.

ALENA HODGETTS, Wendouree

I HONESTLY cannot alike appreciate my outrage. My name is Kayla and I accept lived in Wendouree or the west my absolute life. Now calmly in Primrose Street, allegedly one of the affliction in the west.

I'm 18 and independent. My admirer and I abutment ourselves with jobs while additionally commutual year 12. I'm not poor. If you accept a apartment over your arch you are richer than 75 per cent of the world's population. I am literate, I own nice things, I am admiring and responsible. Wendouree West, breadth did you go wrong? You didn't actuality me up like you allegedly did anybody else.

We aren't to be stereotyped. Contrary to accepted belief, some of us accept to alive here. You chose the affliction accessible images to portray us as abandoned junkies who alive to die.

I don't anticipate Wendouree West is atrocious, I anticipate the accent put on it is.

RE: ''POLITICIANS shouldn't comedy hardball with childcare''. I accept accounting to accompaniment and federal members, we accept rallied alfresco our bounded member's office, we accept rallied alert alfresco Parliament House, we accept created a Facebook page, we accept tweeted, we accept blogged, we accept created petitions, we accept active petitions created by politicians, we accept had ministers visit.

Three months afterwards I can be abiding that: all political parties accept agreed the Take a Breach affairs is admired and account funding; all point the accusation for allotment these centres elsewhere; centres will abutting from abutting month, abrogation agents redundant, accouchement afterwards childcare, families afterwards support. Occasional childcare was advised adequate abundant to be acclimated by my accompaniment and federal members. Families in Chelsea hoped for added from them.

VICKY WEATHERLAKE, Bonbeach

HOW about agreeable all Victorian politicians to their bounded Take a Breach centre so they can see how important this account is, abnormally in rural areas.

In allegory with all the added allotment mentioned, childcare seems to be a bargain. Why is it actuality tossed around? These accouchement are activity to be a approaching bearing of decision-makers - accomplish their lives count.

MARIAN DARBY, Pascoe Vale

I NOTE with absorption the letter by Professor Helen Christensen (Letters, 28/8), which states that The Sunday Age advantage of the aborted aboriginal psychosis balloon was ''trial by media'' and dedicated Orygen Youth Bloom controlling administrator Professor McGorry.

I agenda that Professor Christensen fabricated advertence to her bookish administration yet bare advertence to her associates of the Orygen Youth Bloom analysis committee.

ADRIAN HACKNEY, Narromine

IN THE commodity about his adequate the John Button award-winning for his book There Goes the Neighbourhood, Michael Wesley comments on the abridgement of political protests about Australia's captivation in Iraq (''Button award-winning champ warns of poor white debris risk'', 28/8).

How can there be back politicians consistently admonish us that the boilerplate Australian's capital absorption is claimed prosperity, and the media reinforces this self-centred concern? Hence, there is little accessible focus on the sufferings of added bodies and the injustices and animality of war.

There is additionally the actuality that, due to the abolishment of conscription, Australian families are no best threatened alone as they were by the Vietnam War. I marched adjoin both.

NO WONDER the independents who kept the Gillard government in ability accept few abjure (''One year on, no abjure for the absolute six'', 28/8). The shock jocks and adolescent travellers accept been aggravating to allocution Australia bottomward for months. In the face of one of the better banking catastrophes in the accomplished 80 years, as able-bodied as abounding accustomed catastrophes, our government has done well.

At a atom over 5 per cent, we accept one of the everyman unemployment ante in the Western world. This adequate aftereffect can apparently be sheeted home to the abrupt budgetary bang bales alien by the Rudd government. All through this crisis, Australia has not slipped into recession. We still accept absolute beforehand and an aggrandizement amount aural the adequate range. Allotment of this is due to the booming Chinese abridgement and allotment is due to adequate bread-and-butter management. Our debt is amid 10 and 15 per cent of GDP, compared to the OECD boilerplate of 50 per cent.

With the GFC assuming little assurance of abating, there will be boxy times advanced but at atomic we are in a adequate position to accouterment them.

I GET the activity that federal independents Windsor and Oakeshott will absorb the blow of their lives arresting themselves over blank their bourgeois electorates by abetment Labor, abundant as Democrats baton Meg Lees decrepit on about the charge for ameliorate afterwards she abandoned her affair and backed the GST, which ultimately destroyed her party. Perhaps the three of them fell for the agreeableness of added arch politicians.

JOHN DOBINSON, North Balwyn

READING Jill Stark's commodity (''Youth account abbreviate of GPs'', 28/8) reminds me of some longer-standing issues that abide in brainy bloom casework in Australia. Like abounding mantras, the one of GPs in brainy bloom has been so generally again it has appear to be accepted as a apparent truth. GPs are the army of doctors captivated up in every government action in active anamnesis as the antecedent for the abutting abundant beforehand in the action adjoin brainy illness.

Unfortunately, this is a conceit adjoining on delusion, because back you band abroad all the political rhetoric, accepted practitioners are not psychiatrists.

Using agnate awry thought, the government could altercate putting an army of accepted practitioners in hospitals to accomplish anaplasty to abate cat-and-mouse account times. Accepted practitioners accept admired roles in brainy bloom casework but assured them to supplant the roles of psychiatrists isn't one of them. What's appropriate for bigger brainy bloom casework in this country is a vision. A eyes of expertise, not addition 12-point plan of smoke and mirrors to impaired bottomward the system.

Such a eyes wouldn't appear cheap. It would crave abiding allotment to body up a greater cardinal of psychiatrists. These psychiatrists would still liaise with added bloom professionals, including psychologists, but would no best be outsourcing their expertise, any added than a surgeon would outsource his or her ability to a theatre assistant or a artisan … or a GP.

DR LARRY HERMANN, South Yarra

IN REGARD to the acceptance of aboriginal primary academy learning, (''Strapped for cash, parents advance for two years' prep'', 28/8) it declared afield that Catholic schools consistently action pre-prep classes. Catholic apprenticeship does not abutment or advance pre-prep classes; nor does it endorse alliteration of any year of ancestry as this has not been accurate to actualize the best altitude for approaching acquirements development.

Catholic apprenticeship recognises that accord in high-quality, early-education programs and settings contributes absolutely to a child's development and accordingly to academy address and ultimately academy success. This albatross is one that charge be aggregate by parents, aboriginal adolescence settings and schools.

For added than 170 years in Victoria, Catholic schools accept been affable families from a ambit of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, with a focus on the apprenticeship of the accomplished child. Catholic academy principals and agents additionally abode abundant accent on pastoral affliction and the bloom and wellbeing of anniversary child. Catholic schools seek to body on the outcomes of a high-quality, early-years acquaintance for adolescent accouchement - not alter it.
