Mobvoi's Google Assistant powered smart speaker now being cleared out at Jaycar with an $80 discount on RRP. It's splashproof (IPX6) and has a battery inside it for use outside or away from a powerpoint around the pool. Good for use in a bathroom or kitchen where it may get a little splash.

It looks like they stole the guts out of a Google Home Mini and jammed it into an Amazon Dot… and doubled the price in the process…
I got one direct, and I've had no issues with it. works fine for me (or rather the wife, doing gardening)
The premium over the Mini price is due to the built-in battery. Even so, the price needed to be better to make up for the lack of awareness of Mobvoi brand.
Dearer than the real thing and probably half as good based on my experience with Mobvoi products. The first Ticwatch didn't last a year. The replacement was doa and I'm still waiting for it's replacement 3 months later
