Summary

He was a renowned pathologist and a pioneer in melanoma research. But through his brain cancer diagnosis, Professor Richard Scolyer took Australians on a journey of hope and tenacity. The former Australian of the Year has died at the age of 59. We hear from one of his old footy mates, ex-Tasmanian Premier Will Hodgman and the Governor General Sam Mostyn. And another of today's King's Birthday Honours recipients Fran Kelly drops in. Recap the morning's news, politics and global affairs with the Breakfast Wrap.
