“During COVID, we know that a lot of guys didn’t get into their GP to get their regular blood checks done, and prostate cancer affects about 24,000 men annually… it’s the largest cancer of males in Australia,” Mr Butt told Sky News Australia. “We know that guys survive for years afterwards, which means not only are they left with scars from their cancer, but some of the mental health concerns… can be really bothersome for them, and they don’t know where to go to get help.
“Men typically don’t talk about their health as well as women do, and when it comes to urological health… men are even less likely to talk about it, so it’s really important that the guys go out and get checked. “I guess what we’re doing is raising awareness and talking to the guys about life after prostate cancer or with prostate cancer; you can live a very happy, full life with it.”

National cyber exercises to help Australia become a ‘secure country’Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil has warned that Australians will still see cyber-attacks even if the country becomes the “best in the world” with its cyber security. “Part of us being a nationally secure country is being able to get back up off the mat very quickly when we are hit with a cyber-attack,” she told Sky News Australia. “So what the Australian government is doing is starting something that business have called for and asked for which is for us to collaborate with industry to run large-scale national cyber exercises.” Ms O’Neil said they will design a set of cyber-attack scenarios and coordinate how the government and sector would work together. “It’s a really important thing for us to be doing and we are starting that fairly soon with banking and finance.”
