Run, don't walk: This $399 Philips air fryer is now just $198 in a rare Amazon Australia deal
The Philips Dual Basket Air Fryer, which usually retails for $399, is now available on Amazon Australia for just $198, a massive 50 per cent off.
This isn't just any air fryer. It's sleek, modern and seriously clever. Designed with RapidAir Plus technology, it delivers crispy results with up to 90 per cent less fat, so you can enjoy your favourite fried food without the guilt.
Think hot chips, golden chicken nuggets, crispy fish, fluffy roasted veg or even cakes, all done with virtually no oil.
What really sets it apart, though, is the two-drawer design. Each drawer operates independently with its own temperature and timing, but they can also sync up to ensure your whole meal finishes cooking at exactly the same time.
So, no more soggy sides waiting around while your chicken catches up.
One drawer is slightly smaller than the other, which means you can use less power for those quick weekday meals or heat-ups.
But when it's time to feed the whole family, the full 9-litre capacity comes in handy. And thanks to the Sync and Copy functions, cooking a full dinner is as simple as tapping a button.
The intuitive touchscreen makes it easy to select from eight preset cooking modes, including fresh and frozen fries, chicken, fish, meat, cake and vegetables.
No guessing, no fiddling with temps, just touch and go. Plus, the beeping reminder tells you when it's time to toss your food for perfect results every time.
Cleanup is easy too; the PTFE non-stick coated baskets slide out and go straight into the dishwasher. No soaking, scrubbing or swearing needed.
And if you're stuck for dinner ideas, the Philips HomeID app has step-by-step recipes that are tailored specifically for the dual-basket model, so you can get the most out of your new kitchen toy.
One shopper shared their experience, and it might just convince you:
'If you've owned a single drawer air fryer before, you'll know it can be frustrating trying to cook two different types of food that need different settings. This air fryer sorts that out. Put chips in one drawer, chicken nuggets in the other, hit the magic button, they finish at the same time, no checking needed.'
'It looks great on the bench top, too. The smaller drawer is perfect for small meals, and it uses less power. It's the perfect air fryer.'
Considering the huge discount, sleek design and unbeatable functionality, this is a deal that won't last long.

How student HECS debt relief will work, when you'll get money
The Albanese government's signature HECS reforms passed parliament on Thursday, meaning more than three million Aussies will see thousands of dollars wiped from their student debt. For those with an average debt of $27,600, it's a saving of $5520. The Bill also included changes to when the money needs to be repaid, saving those on lower incomes from mandatory deductions. Here's everything you need to know about the changes – and when they'll come into effect. About $16 billion will be slashed from the nation's student loan debts. Picture: NewsWire / Nicholas Eagar HOW MUCH WILL I SAVE? The reforms will wipe about $16bn of HELP debt, VET loans and apprenticeship loans for approximately three million Australians. According to calculations from the government someone with the average HELP debt of $27,600 will have $5520 wiped from their outstanding loans. People at the upper end of debt, exceeding $60,000, could see a reduction of more than $12,000. HOW DO I GET MY DEBT REDUCED? Those with a debt don't have to do a thing – the reduction will be automatically applied by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Calculations will take into account the most recent indexation of debt, and will be backdated to the amount owed as of June 1, 2025, meaning you won't be penalised for having paid off extra between then and now. Changes will be implemented automatically, and Aussies will receive a text when the reduction has been applied. WHEN WILL I GET MY MONEY? Australians have been urged to be patient as the changes are implemented. Education Minister Jason Clare said the ATO would need to 'write about 50,000 lines of code to implement' the policy and 'make sure that they get it right'. He assured those with a debt that the passing of the legislation meant the changes were 'guaranteed', regardless of how long it took. When the reduction has been applied, debt holders will receive a text notifying them. WHAT ELSE HAS CHANGED? Thursday's Bill also contained measures to increase the minimum income repayment threshold – the amount you earn before repaying the loan becomes mandatory – from $54,000 to $67,000. The amount to be repaid will now be calculated only on the income above the new $67,000 threshold, rather than on a person's total annual income. After the legislation has been signed off by the governor-general (receives royal assent), the new repayment schedule will take effect for the 2025-26 income year. This is expected to take place within the next two weeks.

ASIO spy boss Mike Burgess warns espionage at ‘unprecedented levels' as Aussies targeted ‘more aggressively'
Australia's spy boss has warned espionage has shot to 'unprecedented levels and sophistication', as Australians are being targeted 'more aggressively than ever before'. Director-general of security Mike Burgess said espionage was costing Australia $12.5 Billion a year and warned against complacency in his Annual Hawke Lecture. 'ASIO estimates the threat from espionage will only intensify,' he said. 'Nation states are spying at unprecedented levels, with unprecedented sophistication. ASIO is seeing more Australians targeted – more aggressively – than ever before. 'ASIO has detected 24 major espionage and foreign interference disruptions in the last three years alone – more than the previous eight years combined. 'So our response must also be more serious and sophisticated than ever before.' Recent targets have included a law firm, horticultural laboratories, a peak industry body, and exporter in attacks he labelled the 'tip of an espionage iceberg'. Among key targets in the past couple years has been Australia's trilateral defence pact with the United States and United Kingdom – AUKUS – to deliver nuclear-powered submarines. Mr Burgess said reports had found 'a very unhealthy interest in AUKUS' from foreign intelligence agencies. 'With AUKUS, we are not just defending our sovereign capability. We are also defending critical capability shared by and with our partners,' he said. He said while the 'obvious candidates' of 'China, Russia and Iran' were in the mix of nations targeting Australia – the spying pool was larger and more unexpected than assumed. 'You would be genuinely shocked by the number and names of countries trying to steal our secrets,' he said. Other areas of interest include critical minerals, rare earths extraction and processing, green technology, Antarctic research and trying to map out Australia's critical infrastructure. He said spies can use coercing or seducing techniques to obtain this material in person or most commonly by hacking through technology. In other cases, people have been lured with overseas trips. Mr Burgess said ultimately, espionage damaged Australia's economy and prosperity. He reminded Aussies 'security is a shared responsibility' after taking aim at 'senior officials and executives' for 'shrugging their shoulders' to the issue. He criticised others for whining about the inconvenience of taking burner phones to high-risk countries. More recently ASIO has detected fake companies setting up job ads on popular sites to try to glean information from people. While trying to recruit officials, public servants and military personnel, spies also try to apply for government, media or defence gigs. 'A foreign intelligence service tried to get an asset employed as a researcher at a media outlet, with the aim of shaping its reporting and receiving early warning of critical stories,' he said. Mr Burgess also warned universities around collaborating on joint-research projects, especially with foreign researchers. In one case a visiting academic with links to a foreign government broke into a restricted technology laboratory and filmed its contents. He also told the keynote address that in recent years more current and former defence employees were being targeted. Some have been subjected to covert room searches during overseas trips, approached at conferences or given gifts containing surveillance devices. He also warned people against promoting their access to sensitive information on social media — especially LinkedIn — and made a pointed spray at those boasting their work on AUKUS. 'Close to 400 explicitly say they work on AUKUS, and the figure rises above 2,000 if you include broader references to 'submarines' and 'nuclear',' he said. 'Nearly two and a half thousand publicly boast about having a security clearance and thirteen hundred claim to work in the national security community. 'While these numbers have fallen since I first raised the alarm two years ago, this still makes my head spin.' 'I get that people need to market themselves, but telling social media you hold a security clearance or work on a highly classified project is more than naïve; it's recklessly inviting the attention of a foreign intelligence service.'
