I can see how this could be mutually beneficial for both Google and Walmart. Both of them are trying to compete with Amazon and Alexa, and this gives Google Home shopping capabilities as well as promoting Walmart's online offerings.
I sure wish Australia had something, anything, that came even close to the experience of Google Express or Amazon Prime.
Grocery delivery is typically limited to specific supermarkets or online stores with high delivery costs and horrendously shitty web apps that do everything they can to get in the way of you actually making a purchase.
I just want to be able to click a single button and have something I need show up on my doorstep the next day, instead of having to pay $20 per delivery just to have some underpaid Australia Post courier toss the parcel somewhere into my yard from the street several days after it was due to arrive.
