Human rights advocates are calling for Australian laws to "catch up with the rest of the world" as cost of living pressures drive sales at ultra-cheap fashion retailers.
Chinese fast fashion retailer Shein and e-commerce giant Temu have grown in popularity, with 800,000 and 1.26 million shoppers in Australia respectively each month, according to Roy Morgan research, 9News reported.
But concerns have been raised about the practices of some fast fashion firms, leading the European Union and US to ban the import of goods made with poor human rights practices.
