This is not hard.
One of three things happened:
1. The Pfizer/Novartis submission was specific for women only.
2 PBAC recommended it for women only and was specific in that recommendation.
3. The health ministry stipulated PBS use in women only.
It would be nice to know where did that start. It is true that if we are following the States - Their FDA approval specifies women only.
The problem with BC in men is the numbers are not there for big studies/big Pharma - it being rarer means that men are diagnosed late, have fewer options and are more likely to die from BC.
