I am with officeworks and would be seeking advice from ACCC. I own one and it is very easy to open. 

iFixit says it’s hard to open. Who should I believe? You or one of Apple’s biggest critics? I believe iFixit. GeeAye said:

According to iFixit’s recent teardown of the AirTag, the battery lid is quite difficult to remove. They state that even with clean, dry fingers it’s hard to get enough friction to turn and release it.

And according to iFixit, the Tile and Samsung(?) trackers are very easy to open up. What about all those hearing aid button batteries lying around? Why is it always Apple that governments, especially Australia, going after? It's just the money and control.

What a peculiar thing to write. Consumer bodies, governments of different levels etc "go after"  every company that they consider is selling a product with safety issues. I guess if you only read Apple news sites you'd think what you think. Do you live in Australia?

Only Apple gets the general press coverage, period. Show us the Australian press releases about the danger of the Tile battery case being easy to open and a danger to children. Show us the Officeworks announcement they pulled the Tile until the ACCC investigated.

We’ll wait.

If you notice the colours used on the invite, and compare those to the recently leaked phone cases, I think there might actually be a clue there. 

They’re the same six colors found in the original Apple logo. Nothing more to it.

Great idea but the location of the chip in any device needs to be in a place where it is not easy to remove and in doing so would render the bike or device useless otherwise people will just break it off and theft will resume. The question then of course is what if you sell the device how to you protect your privacy, more so as the buyer.

Damn, some people really get triggered by the mere existence of us vegetarians and vegans. 

I can have all kinds of opinions about wattage and whatever without the people disagreeing making it personal, but question the use of leather in a product and people suddenly feel an urge to discuss the shape of their teeth, and whether or not their dinner was tasty.
