Ed, In reply to Bill Newton of Gulgong (CVI 20/9/17), I must say that the postal survey being conducted by the ABS does not mention anything about what heterosexual or gay couples do in the privacy of their bedrooms. Maybe Mr Newton has not received his postal survey or has thrown it away unopened. One simple question is asked giving people the choice of two answers, from which they may chose. The choice is a personal one and should not be sullied by such falsehood or backward opinions. Tom Porter, Yamba
