SBS Indonesian
06/06/2025 14:15 Second-hand clothing has become a growing lifestyle trend across Australia. According to Credence Research data, Australia's second-hand clothing market will grow from AUD 578 million in 2023 to AUD 1.6 million by 2032, maintaining an 11.88% compound annual growth rate from 2024 to 2032.
This shift highlights Australians' increasing environmental awareness and embracing responsible consumption habits. Rising cost of living pressures also drive some Australians toward this trend.

Sprint sensation Gout Gout's ‘crazy, big-money' sacrifice to stay in Australia
Gout Gout has turned down massive sponsorship offers because they required him to move away from Australia. All of the biggest sporting companies around the globe have come calling for Australia's schoolboy sprint sensation, flashing big-money deals but with strings attached. These included moving overseas to high-end training facilities in places like Jamaica, the home of the world's fastest man Usain Bolt. But Gout's manager James Templeton has repeatedly knocked back the advances, preferring to leave the 17-year-old around his family and current support system with coach Di Sheppard in Ipswich. After breaking Peter Norman's 56-year-old national 200m record in December at the Australian All-Schools Championships, Gout signed one of the biggest deals in Australian athletics history with Adidas. 'JT (Templeton) told me how much they were willing to pay to get me on their side,' Gout told GQ. 'It was crazy. The number kept getting higher and I realised how much these companies think I'm worth. 'But that sponsorship really helps you get to the next level because obviously you need the money to travel and to train. Especially since I'm at school, so I don't need to go and find a job at Maccas or whatever to put fuel in my car. It definitely helps a lot.' Gout, who lives at home with his six brothers and sisters and parents who fled South Sudan 20 years ago, says he hasn't splashed out with any of his new-found riches yet. 'Long term, I'd like to set myself up and set my family up,' he says. 'I've saved a lot and I bought myself a new car when I got my Ps, so that's probably the biggest purchase I've made so far. I haven't gone crazy.' He describes the attention he's received since his breakthrough performances last year as 'crazy'. 'People asking me for photos and things of that nature, it's definitely surreal. It's crazy to think how far I've come. But it's given me perspective to see how far I can actually go, as well.' His next big race is in Europe during the July school holidays where he'll compete in the U/23 Diamond League event in Monaco before setting his sights on the world athletics championships in Tokyo in September.

Collette Dinnigan buys luxury Elizabeth Bay penthouse
Fashion designer and interior designer Collette Dinnigan has snapped up a luxury Elizabeth Bay penthouse after selling her Darling Point home for $20m. It's an interesting move for Dinnigan and husband Bradley Cocks, a hotelier and real estate agent, who previously owned a four-bedroom semi in Hamden Ave, Darling Point that they'd bought for $7m in 2017 and spent years renovating to capitalise on views Rushcutters and Elizabeth Bay. The couple's new home is a two-level three-bedroom residence atop the six-level Tradewinds building, bought for about $7.2m via BresicWhitney director Shannan Whitney and Romany Brooks last month, sources advise. MORE: $80m unit smashes all records The agents were contacted for comment this morning, but had no comment. Tradewinds is considered one of Elizabeth Bay's best positions, with the 250 sqm north-facing apartment coming with uninterrupted harbour views towards North Head. Expect Dinnigan to add her personal touches to the stylish new pad, which was last renovated a decade ago. It comes with three 'retro' styled bathrooms and kitchen and a wide balcony with large terrace on level one. MORE: Neighbours become $200m richer overnight There are two separate living zones on each level, with distinct detail and 1970s style custom joinery. Thanks to its northerly aspect, the residence is full of light and there's also airconditioning. It all comes with three-car garage parking. MORE: Wild reason Aussie has 300 homes The buyers of the couple's previous home in Darling Point were Julie Entwistle and her husband, Jason, the director of strategic development at wealth management platform Hub24. The Entwistle's former home, at 53 Regent St, Paddington, a magnificently renovated four-bedroom terrace with alfresco garden and parking, has been listed with Maclay Longhurst and Emily Davidson of Sotheby's. Neither wished to comment. On a 212 sqm block close to Centennial Park and with three bathrooms, there's a $5m guide for a June 28 auction. MORE: Kmart set to change everything in Temu war

Monash IVF CEO Michael Knaap resigns days after second embryo mix-up announced
Days after Australian fertility company Monash IVF disclosed they were investigating a mix-up that led to a woman being impregnated with the wrong embryo, their embattled CEO has resigned. The company confirmed in Thursday that their chief executive officer and managing director Michael Knaap, will depart following fallout from the second such bungle announced in recent months, and on the back of the company's share price plummeting. Monash IVF announced that the current company finance boss, Malik Jainudeen, will take over as interim CEO. 'The Board has today accepted Michael Knaap's resignation as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Monash IVF Group,' a Monash IVF statement said. 'Mr. Knaap also resigned as a director of Monash IVF Group Limited. 'The Board acknowledges and respects his decision. 'Since his appointment in 2019, Michael has led the organisation through a period of significant growth and transformation, and we thank him for his years of dedicated service.' Earlier this week, the company released a statement to the ASX, advising that an incident had occurred involving transferring a patient's own embryo to her, instead of inserting the embryo of her same-sex partner. The Melbourne-based woman is now being supported by the reproductive giant. 'Monash IVF has extended its sincere apologies to the affected couple, and we continue to support them,' it said in a statement. In a statement to the ASX, Monash IVF said the incident is being investigated and safeguards are being introduced. Its shares were hammered 25 per cent lower to a near five-year low of 55.5¢ after news of the bungle broke. 'Commencing immediately, Monash IVF will implement interim additional verification processes and patient confirmation safeguards over and above normal practice,' Monash IVF Group said in their statement. Two months ago, the fertility specialists were forced to admit they had mixed up the delivery of embryos at their Brisbane centre and a woman had given birth to a stranger's baby. 'Monash IVF is conducting an internal investigation into the incident. It has also extended the scope of the independent review being conducted by Fiona McLeod AO SC in relation to the Brisbane incident, noting that the different incidents occurred some years apart.,' the statement added. 'Whilst industry-leading electronic witness systems have and are being rolled out across Monash IVF, there remain instances and circumstances whereby manual witnessing is required. 'Monash IVF has disclosed the incident to the relevant assisted reproductive technology ART regulators, namely the Reproduction Technology Accreditation Committee certifying body and Victorian Health Regulator. 'In addition, Monash IVF has notified it's insurers and expects the incident to fall within the scope of its insurance coverage,' the company noted.
