Refusal to allow same sex adoption violates rights upon the law, as according to S60C of the Family Law Act (1975), the best interests of the child is the only criteria that needs to be employed, not the sexual orientation of the parent. To ensure the effectiveness of the court is upheld, reforms to the law to allow same-sex couples to adopt should be implemented, taking into consideration that the best interests of children are met as is done for heterosexual couples :)
