British backpacker pleads guilty after fatally crashing into a father while under influence of alcohol in Australia
Alicia Kemp, 25, was over the legal limit when she hit Thanh Phan while riding through Perth's city centre on 31 May.
The 51-year-old died in hospital days later after suffering a brain bleed.
His death thrust the issue of e-scooter regulations into Australia 's national spotlight, prompting the city and several other local councils to suspend e-scooter hire services indefinitely.
Kemp, from Worcestershire, appeared at Perth Magistrates' Court court via video link from prison on Monday.
She admitted a charge of dangerous driving causing death under the influence of alcohol.
Kemp will remain in custody until she appears at Perth District Court on 31 October, when a date will be set for her sentencing.
The charge of dangerous driving causing death carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Under Western Australian law, e-scooter riders must wear a helmet, be sober, carry no passengers and be over 16.

I am a Robodebt whistleblower. I know what it's like to be punished for speaking out and why protection is urgent
I blew the whistle on Robodebt. I experienced first-hand the absence of support for whistleblowers. That is why I am firm in my belief that we need whistleblower reform, now, including the establishment of a Whistleblower Protection Authority. For most of my career, I have worked for Services Australia. I was on the frontline of the implementation of what became known as Robodebt. As I explained in my testimony to the Robodebt royal commission, involvement in Robodebt was a deeply traumatic experience. I tried, from the very beginning, when I was part of an initial Robodebt pilot, to blow the whistle on the scheme. I immediately saw Robodebt for what the royal commission eventually concluded it to be: unlawful and deeply unethical. I thought it should be stopped, to never proceed beyond the pilot. But when I, and others, raised concerns, we were met with a clear, stark message: resign, transfer or comply. The message was as blunt as that: shut up or leave. Our concerns were ignored. Instead, we received threatening communications. Performance targets, threats of underperformance notices and code of conduct breaches were used to suppress dissent. Daily emails reminded us that if we spoke to anyone outside our team about our work, we could face termination. There was no safe, independent mechanism for staff to report concerns without fear of reprisal. If such a body had existed, I believe many more staff would have spoken out, and Robodebt may have been stopped before it began. Think about what that might have prevented – the trauma avoided, the beautiful lives not lost as a result, the billions in taxpayer dollars not wasted. If whistleblowers were protected and empowered, not punished, maybe we could have avoided Robodebt altogether. At its core, Robodebt was a breakdown of integrity. A logical response in such situations is to go outside that system and report – somewhere, some way, somehow. While the integrity of all government systems rely on public confidence, there are a range of reasons the integrity of those systems can be compromised. Whistleblowing is a vital safety valve when those systems fail. No doubt you will hear much today about the importance of whistleblowing, and how we can improve support and protection for whistleblowing. But I want to speak to the personal cost of speaking out. I lost my career. My mental health suffered. I struggled with alcohol dependency. I became unable to properly parent, or care for my elderly parent. I endured suicidal ideation. A decade since I first blew the whistle on Robodebt, and over two years since I gave evidence to the royal commission, I am still suffering. I was so traumatised by my experience that I am on workers' compensation, barely subsisting on a fraction of my former salary. Ultimately my family, my career and my colleagues have paid the high price for speaking up. Meanwhile, those most responsible for Robodebt have faced no real consequences. The royal commission vindicated those who raised concerns, yet still we suffer. Society benefits when whistleblowers speak up – ultimately, Robodebt was stopped. But we are left on the scrap heap, paying a high price for our sacrifice – a sacrifice made in the public interest. I am not the only one. In recent years there have been Australians prosecuted for blowing the whistle, a whistleblower imprisoned for speaking up. There are dozens more who have had their careers ended, or sidelined, for doing the right thing, not to mention those – including many colleagues during Robodebt – who simply walked away in disgust. For this reason alone there should be some sort of mechanism to support whistleblowers who speak up in the public interest. To have a body which can offer a modicum of protection to those who would bring 'right' to a place where it can be considered, should be at the core of efforts to restore credibility in Australian public institutions. That is why we need a Whistleblower Protection Authority. That is why I came here today, to call on the Albanese government and attorney general Michelle Rowland to act. Whistleblower protections must ensure that those who speak out for what is right are not punished for doing so. Integrity in our public systems depend on it. Jeannie-Marie Blake is a public servant. This is an extract of evidence she gave to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee in Canberra on Wednesday, as part of the Committee's inquiry into a whistleblower protection authority In Australia, the crisis support service Lifeline is 13 11 14.
