E-scooters linked to double pedestrian deaths + Amazon takes on Temu

Thursday Headlines: A former SAS soldier will be the first in Australia to ever face trial for a war crime, pedestrian deaths are up by almost 50 per cent, Monash IVF is under pressure to publicly release a review into two separate IVF bungles, the larger the house the less people living in it, and a year one teacher has gone viral for an informative private parts song.

Deep Dive: Amazon have just launched ‘their own version of Temu’ in a bid to compete with the ultra-low-cost marketplace called Amazon Haul.

From mid 2023 to 2024 Temu reached nearly 4 million Australian shoppers and Shein reached about 2 million, with experts predicting that number could be greater in 2025.

In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by Dr. Bo Pang associate director of consumer innovation at Swinburne University to explain the ethical and regulatory concerns within the ultra-low-cost marketplace and how Haul is different from the Amazon we know.
