Medibank hackers have published an 'abortion' file. Here's what you need to know.

Today, the hackers and ransomware group behind the Medibank attack posted a file labelled "abortions" on the dark web. The now public file - a spreadsheet - included the names and private details of 303 patients and policyholders relating to terminations.

Medibank confirmed details of almost 500,000 health claims have been stolen, along with personal information. No credit card or banking details were accessed. 

Earlier this week the hackers released a set of customer detail files named "good-list" and "naughty-list". The "naughty" list reportedly included health claims related to drug and mental health issues.

"The weaponisation of people's private information in an effort to extort payment is malicious, and it is an attack on the most vulnerable members of our community," Medibank’s chief executive said in a statement.

Cyber Security Minister Clare O'Neil has said what occurred is "morally reprehensible and it is criminal".

Australian Federal Police are ramping up efforts to catch those behind the huge data breach and are coordinating with state and territory police to support people at risk of identity fraud.

Medibank and the Government say they will not pay a ransom following the hack, but the story is ever-evolving. For all those affected or concerned, please remember mental health services are available and to call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Former schoolteacher Chris Dawson is a "conniving monster" who betrayed his family, Lynette Dawson's brother Greg Simms said in court today.

In a hearing in the NSW Supreme Court, a statement by Greg was read out describing how the loss of his sister had impacted generations.

"We considered you an equal in all respects. We trusted you. You repaid us by committing the ultimate betrayal," Mr Simms wrote.

Thursday's sentencing hearing comes 10 weeks after Dawson, now 74, was found guilty of murdering his wife in January 1982 so he could have an unfettered relationship with one of his high school students, known as JC.

"It was a brazen act of a conniving monster hell bent on one thing, getting what you wanted at any cost," Mr Simms said.

Wearing prison greens sitting in the court dock, Dawson listened to statements from Mr Simms as well as Lynette's sister Patricia Jenkins and his own daughter Shanelle Dawson. Before reading her statement, Shanelle took a pause to fiercely stare at Dawson from across the courtroom, breaking into tears before speaking.

"The night you removed our mother from our lives was the night you destroyed our sense of safety and belonging in this world," she said.

#ChrisDawson’s daughter has addressed him in court ahead of his sentencing.

“Why didn’t you just divorce her, and let those who love and need her, keep her? It hurts me deeply to think of you in jail for the rest of your life but I also choose not to carry your burdens anymore.”

Saying she had glimpses of memories from the "nightmare night" her mother disappeared, she said her life had been shattered, she found it difficult to trust men, and she had been diagnosed with PTSD after learning what her father was capable of.

"The torture of not knowing what happened, of what you did with her body - please tell us where she is. I hope you will finally admit the truth to yourself," she said.

"There are not enough words in the English language to describe the impact of 41 years of deceit, trauma, silence and gaslighting. I couldn't believe someone I loved and trusted is capable of a heart-wrenching selfish act."

In a five-hour judgment delivered on August 30, the judge outlined why Dawson was guilty of killing his wife and disposing of her body.

Lynette went missing from the couple's Bayview home in Sydney's northern beaches. Her body has never been found despite extensive police searches. Dawson has consistently denied any involvement in his wife's disappearance, claiming she simply up and left her family home and children without a trace. Justice Harrison rejected this version of events as "ludicrous".

Content warning: This story includes descriptions of sexual assault that may be distressing for some readers.

A Sydney woman has said she "feared for her life" during an alleged sexual assault by Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka after they matched on Tinder.

The woman, who cannot be identified, was allegedly sexually assaulted four times in her Rose Bay home on November 2 after going out for drinks and pizza with the international sports star.

Gunathilaka, 31, was arrested in the early hours of Sunday at Sydney's Hyatt Regency Hotel where he was staying while the Sri Lankan cricket team were in Australia for the T20 World Cup.

He is facing four counts of sexual intercourse without consent and has not yet given a plea.

According to a NSW police facts sheet filed with Downing Centre Local Court, the couple matched on Tinder and later had a number of video calls through WhatsApp before meeting in person on November 2.

The woman alleges Gunathilaka forcefully kissed her and slapped her buttocks on the ferry home.

After they arrived at her home, the cricketer allegedly refused to wear a condom and choked the woman three times.

"The complainant tried to remove the accused's hand by grabbing his wrist but the accused squeezed tighter around her neck," the police facts sheet says.

"The complainant was fearing for her life and could not get away from the accused."

She also gagged and couldn't breath during an attempt at oral sex, the court documents claim.

"She continually tried to pull away from the accused, a clear indication that she was not consenting."

New allegations have been made public in relation to a Sri Lankan cricketer charged with raping a Sydney woman.

In a police interview after his arrest, Gunathilaka corroborated some of the alleged victim's story but denied that he had been violent or that consent had not been given. Prosecutors allege the victim did not consent to sex without a condom or any of the other sexual acts performed.

On Monday, a bail application by the sports star while in custody at Surry Hills Police Station was rejected. That same day, Sri Lanka Cricket announced it would conduct its own inquiry, saying Gunathilaka would be penalised if the court finds him guilty in Australia.

The matter will return to court on January 12.

"There's no more I can do," she explained. 

"I’ve spent so many years protecting my story about IVF,” she said. “I’m so protective of these parts because I feel like there’s so little that I get to keep to myself. … I don’t have anything to hide."

The incident occurred as the monarch and his wife were entering the city through Micklegate Bar, a medieval gateway where monarchs are traditionally welcomed.

Several police officers could be seen grappling with a man at a crowd barrier. 

Britain's PA news agency reported that he shouted "this country was built on the blood of slaves" as he was being detained.

Charles and Camilla also are due to visit the city's cathedral, York Minster, and unveil a statue of Queen Elizabeth II, following her death in September.

It’s a right of passage for every young girl.

The moment you get those first drops of blood and hopefully someone in your circle, or reading the right things on the internet, tells you about all the things you can use to keep your period leaking and ruining your outfit.

It can be a time of pride, of shame, of worry and a sense of achievement. Now, the age at which puberty is hitting girls across the globe seems to be getting earlier and earlier... but why?

Today, we look at the factors being investigated as the reason for early puberty and how it will impact those who do reach that milestone much younger than most.
