Research highlights that burnout is significantly impacting younger Australian workers, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, costing businesses billions due to decreased productivity and engagement. Burnout is characterised by exhaustion, cynicism, and a sense of reduced accomplishment, often stemming from a lack of downtime and feeling overwhelmed. Gen Z is proactively addressing this by openly taking mental health days, viewing work-life balance as dynamic and prioritising emotional sustainability without feeling the need to justify these days with physical illness. Experts emphasise the importance of workplaces recognising and supporting mental health, as neglecting it leads to negative consequences for both employees and the company's bottom line. This generation is shifting workplace norms, making mental health a foundational aspect of sustainable careers rather than just a benefit.

An Indian national, Thomas Gabriel Perera, was killed while attempting to illegally cross from Jordan into Israel, lured by the false promise of a lucrative job. Perera and his brother-in-law, Edison Charlas, were deceived by an agent who promised high wages but ultimately directed them to cross the border illegally after they had already paid a significant sum. Jordanian soldiers shot at the men during the border crossing attempt, resulting in Perera's death and Charlas' subsequent hospitalisation and repatriation to India. The Indian Embassy in Jordan has acknowledged the tragedy and is assisting Perera's family with the repatriation of his remains. The men, originally from Kerala, were seeking better employment opportunities after working as auto-rickshaw drivers, but fell victim to a job scam. This incident highlights the dangers and exploitation faced by individuals seeking work abroad through unofficial channels.

A Delhi court dismissed a revision petition from Kapil Mishra, a BJP leader and Delhi's Law and Justice Minister, regarding a case under the Representation of the People Act. The court found that Mishra strategically used the term "Pakistan" in his statements to incite hatred and communal polarisation for electoral gain in 2020. Specifically, his remarks about "mini-Pakistans" in Delhi and an "India vs Pakistan" contest on election day were deemed attempts to promote enmity based on religion. The court asserted that the implicit reference to a particular religious community was easily understood as an attempt to generate conflict. Mishra's lawyer argued that his statements referred to a country, not a group of people. However, the judge rejected this argument, asserting that the implication was clear.
