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.

‘World first': Grill'd overhauls range with healthier buns in partnership with Melbourne Storm, Demons
Grill'd will be overhauling its selection of buns in all restaurants across the country in favour of healthier alternatives. In a world first, the healthy burger joint will make all of its panini and traditional buns low GI and high fibre. Made with 87 per cent less sugar than a standard brioche bun, they're intended to release energy into the body slowly, which makes the customer feeling fuller for longer. They also contain half the sugar of regular white rolls, making them a healthier alternative. To celebrate the launch of the healthier burger buns, Grill'd is partnering with the Australian Institute of Sport and the Melbourne Demons and Melbourne Storm teams to celebrate the low-GI buns. 'Nutrition is a critical part of performance,' Melbourne Storm nutritionist Georgia Walker said. 'The right foods give our players the energy to train hard, recover well, and stay on the field.' She said the new buns were an easier way to get the players to eat healthily. 'Our players train full-time, and their energy demands are huge,' she said. 'You can educate players on the right foods to eat, but if players don't enjoy the food, it's not sustainable.' Grill'd founder and managing director Simon Crowe said the company had been developing the buns for several years, and it was an extraordinary step for the Australian restaurant chain. 'Health and performance are major priorities for Grill'd as a business,' he said. 'As leaders in innovation, we've developed Hi Fibre Lo GI buns, a breakthrough in product development for a burger restaurant. 'The creation of High Fibre Low GI food is incredibly challenging to achieve in fresh product production as it is governed by strict certification conformity,' he added. 'But we have been perfecting this product innovation for a number of years, trialling many different recipes to nail the right balance of nutrition and taste. 'The result? Buns that are better for your body, without compromising on taste or quality.'

John Kanga to serve as executive chairman of the Melbourne Racing Club following the departure of CEO Tom Reilly
Chairman John Kanga will again spearhead a new-look Melbourne Racing Club administration. Kanga has assumed the honorary role of executive chairman and confirmed the club would not seek to fill its chief executive officer vacancy. The MRC last Monday terminated former chief executive Tom Reilly. Tanya Fullerton, the newly-appointed chief operating officer, is slated to start on Thursday. 'The club will not be recruiting for a CEO,' Kanga told this masthead. 'Tanya is the chief operating officer and we're also going to bolster our racing operations.' Kanga served as executive chairman from October last year to February, until Reilly started. He backed Fullerton to do 'an excellent job'. Fullerton, vice-chairman of the Thoroughbred Racehorse Owners' Association, has worked closely with Kanga the past six months in particular on the 'Save Our Sandown' campaign. Kanga refused to comment on the reasons behind a 'unanimous' MRC board decision to remove Reilly last Monday. He would also not be drawn on the resignation of long-time MRC committee member Barb Saunders. As revealed by the Herald Sun on Tuesday, Saunders resigned in protest of the Reilly termination, the Fullerton appointment and MRC governance. Kanga has deferred any discussions on a potential casual vacancy replacement for Saunders to the next MRC committee meeting in two weeks. The MRC could proceed with nine on the committee through to its September election. Kanga is one of three committee members, including Alison Saville and Frank Pollio, up for election this year. Kanga said the MRC has a strong management structure in place. 'The team is working hard to deliver a fantastic Spring Carnival at Caulfield,' Kanga said. In a letter to members, following the Reilly termination, Kanga said the current administration has 'turned the club around' and restored member and industry confidence 'making common sense decisions'. Kanga sighted key milestones, including the saving of racing at Sandown, relocating the Caulfield racecourse mounting yard to its original position and reversing the proposal to build a 'wasteful' new grandstand at The Heath. The MRC last year under Kanga's watch also entered into an agreement to sell a parcel of land next to Caulfield racecourse for $195m. 'That does not mean that we cannot improve,' Kanga said. 'Tanya and I and the MRC management team will work hard, on an ongoing basis, to deliver better services and results for members.'
