Converting kg to lbs is mainly needed when reading US fitness apps, buying American products, or understanding weight specs on imported equipment.
Australian supermarkets label all food in grams and kilograms. Produce at markets is priced per kilogram. Australian gym equipment uses kg exclusively. The only common pounds encounter is in American media and cross-border online shopping from the US.
