According to a survey, only five per cent of all Australian men regularly play a game of football with their friends, almost 50 per cent admit it has been months since they tinkered with their car and shed ownership has dropped 27 per cent over the course of a generation.

On the flipside, concern for skin care is growing and Australian men are not afraid to wear pink.

Cleansing with face wash was practised by 44 per cent and one per cent more used moisturiser.

Almost a third said they owned an item of pink clothing.

Rugby league legend and survey commissioner Kirks Brewed Ginger Beer spokesman, Mal Meninga, is outraged by the findings.

“Australian men should be ashamed of themselves … we’ve become a nation of pansies.

“It’s time to toughen up and get real - otherwise our nation runs the risk of turning into a joke.”
