Rising petrol prices are driving more Australians to consider electric vehicles (EVs), which are cheaper to run thanks to lower electricity costs and greater efficiency. Experts say online searches surged in March compared to the previous month, reflecting growing interest. With more models entering the market and charging networks expanding, buying and owning an EV is becoming increasingly accessible. For many drivers, the question is no longer if an EV will suit their needs, but how and when to make the switch. - पेट्रोल की बढ़ती कीमतों के चलते ऑस्ट्रेलिया में लोग इलेक्ट्रिक वाहनों (EV) की ओर अधिक ध्यान दे रहे हैं, क्योंकि इन्हें चलाने की लागत कम और दक्षता अधिक मानी जा रही है। विशेषज्ञों के अनुसार, मार्च में पिछले महीने की तुलना में इलेक्ट्रिक वाहनों से जुड़ी ऑनलाइन खोजों में बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की गई है, जो इस क्षेत्र में बढ़ती रुचि को दर्शाती है। अब कई ड्राइवरों के लिए सवाल यह नहीं है कि ईवी उनकी जरूरतों के अनुकूल है या नहीं, बल्कि यह है कि वे कब और कैसे इस बदलाव को अपनाएं।

The Premier was addressing multicultural media journalists, where she also responded to questions on the rise of One Nation, the ongoing fuel situation and the teachers' strike. - इस पॉडकास्ट में विक्टोरियन प्रीमियर जैसिंटा एलन ने पुष्टि की है कि राज्यभर में लगभग 101 पेट्रोल स्टेशनों पर ईंधन समाप्त हो चुका है, जिनमें 49 क्षेत्रीय इलाकों के स्टेशन शामिल हैं। उन्होंने नागरिकों से अपील की है कि वे सबसे किफायती ईंधन की जानकारी पाने और खरीदारी के लिए सर्विस विक्टोरिया के ‘सर्वो सेवर' (Servo Saver) ऐप टूल का उपयोग करें। प्रीमियर ने यह भी बताया कि एक बार ईंधन की कीमतें सूचीबद्ध हो जाने के बाद, उन्हें 24 घंटों के भीतर बढ़ाया नहीं जा सकता, जिससे उपभोक्ताओं को कीमतों में पारदर्शिता और राहत मिलती है। प्रीमियर यह जानकारी बहुसांस्कृतिक मीडिया के पत्रकारों को संबोधित करते हुए साझा कर रही थीं।

The daily lives of many Australians revolve around toilet access. But while public toilets are a vital part of urban infrastructure, they're often unsafe, unusable or hard to find. - पब्लिक टॉयलेट शहरी इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर का एक ज़रूरी हिस्सा हैं, लेकिन वे अक्सर असुरक्षित, इस्तेमाल न होने वाले या ढूँढ़ने में मुश्किल होते हैं। वास्तविकता यह भी है कि कई ऑस्ट्रेलियाई लोगों को रोज़मर्रा की ज़िंदगी में टॉयलेट तक पहुँच की आवश्यकता होती है।
