Many mechanics these days are ripping people off with unnecessary extra costs 💸. I just got quoted $2,124+ for a Hyundai Elantra service (engine + brake pads + discs) — parts online are way cheaper, so the labour charges feel unreasonable. Sharing this here so others don’t get trapped like me 🙏. Any advice from car experts would be a big help! 🚗

In 2025, Canada rejected nearly 80% of Indian student visa applications, the highest rejection rate in a decade, according to official data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

This sharp rise has shaken Canada’s position as the top choice for Indian students, with only 9% now considering it their first preference. In 2024, Canada admitted just 1.88 lakh Indian students, a steep decline from previous years.

Visa hurdles, stricter policies, and growing uncertainty are forcing Indian students to look beyond Canada and explore alternative destinations such as Australia, the UK, and European nations

Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has been sacked from the shadow cabinet after refusing to apologise for controversial remarks suggesting the Labor government was bringing in more Indian migrants to secure votes.

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley said Price failed to uphold the standards expected of shadow ministers, stressing the remarks caused hurt to Australians of Indian heritage.

Price admitted her comments were “clumsy” but insisted she would not be silenced on mass migration, vowing to keep raising the issue from the backbench.

This episode has caused anger among Indian Australians, a community seen as politically influential and open to both major parties.

• iPhone 17 Air has been introduced at A$1,799, featuring a 5.6mm thin body, 6.5-inch display, A19 Pro chip, and improved efficiency.

Apple cited currency exchange and regional costs as key factors for Australia’s price rises, despite US prices staying relatively stable.

Beyond phones, Apple launched the Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3, though the new hypertension detection feature will not be available in Australia at launch due to regulatory approvals.

All new devices will be available in Australia from 19 September 2025, with pre-orders from 12 September.
