   Three Indian students have told a West Australian corruption hearing they paid thousands of dollars for fake English-language credentials to help them gain residency in Australia. The state's Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) is investigating allegations a staff member at Curtin University of Technology was paid to falsify English-language competency tests.
   An Indian national told the hearing on Tuesday that a workmate told him he could pay to have his IELTS score altered if he sat the test at Curtin. Another Indian citizen also testified that when he failed to reach his desired score, he paid a housemate's friend $11,000 to have his score altered in 2010. The assistant secretary of the Department of Immigration's labor market branch told the hearing on Monday that deliberate falsification of scores could undermine the integrity of the IELTS.
