Inside $9m Brighton mansion with cinema and spa
A limestone-wrapped veranda, a Canary Island date palm and a home cinema better than Gold Class, this Brighton showpiece is anything but ordinary. The five-bedroom estate at 24 Tennyson St, known as Rathgar, has sold for around $9.1m, according to industry sources, marking one of Brighton's biggest residential transactions of the year. Dating back to the 1880s, the original Victorian-era home has been meticulously renovated under the direction of designer Stephen Akehurst, with a transformation that preserved its ornate charm while introducing modern resort-style living and luxe functionality. Melb designer home set to amaze buyers Instead of opting for a knockdown-rebuild, the sellers retained and restored the double-fronted brick residence. They expanded it into a grand family domain with a 14-metre solar and gas-heated pool, 12-person spa, home gym, wine cellar, mudroom, and custom-built theatre that Nick Johnstone Real Estate Brighton director Nick Johnstone said had a 'wow' factor buyers couldn't ignore. 'It was a beautifully renovated period home and it had that timeless quality people really love,' Mr Johnstone said. 'Buyers were taken by the open fireplace, the mudroom, the cinema, it just had that 'wow' factor.' Set behind automated gates on nearly 1272sq m of blue-chip land, Rathgar opens with manicured gardens and a curved veranda trimmed in iron lacework, details that made a striking first impression to buyers. Mr Johnstone said some prestige buyers were drawn to ultra-modern homes, and others loved the solidity of older ones. 'This home had the appeal of both. When people walked through the gates, it really took their breath away,' he said. Inside, the home is appointed with resurfaced blackbutt floors, pure wool loop pile carpets, and classic finishes including marble fireplaces, silk drapery, and French crystal chandeliers. The rear of the home features an open-plan living space centred around a hand-laid stone fireplace, adjoining a marble kitchen fitted with custom joinery, a Paul Bocuse Rosieres freestanding cooker, and Liebherr appliances. French doors lead out to a limestone and bluestone paved terrace with a built-in barbecue, stepping onto a lush lawn framed by privacy hedges, a glass-fenced pool, and resort-style entertaining zones. The Nick Johnstone Real Estate Brighton director said the home had a great deal of character. 'It had a bit of a ski chalet feel in parts, especially that mudroom,' Mr Johnstone said. 'And it's in such a sensational position, near the Were St shops, near the beach, and finished to a standard that's very hard to find.' Upstairs, the three secondary bedrooms each include built-in robes, study nooks, and custom daybeds, with one offering a view to the Melbourne CBD skyline. The main suite sits at the front of the home with a marble ensuite, walk-in robe, and views to the landscaped gardens. Additional features include a second upstairs retreat, double garage with workshop, home gym/studio with separate entry, a 90,000 litre underground water tank, hydronic heating, central airconditioning, a drying cabinet, and laundry chute. Mr Johnstone said the home was a standout even among Brighton's trophy homes. 'Mostly younger families came through, and a few international buyers,' he said. 'But the majority were existing clients — people who've done well and were ready to buy in that top-end price range.' Mr Johnstone declined to comment on the final price.

When does the RBA meet next? Will there be an interest rate cut?
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will meet again this month, with the board to make a decision about whether or not to change the cash rate target. The decisions of the board impact the budgets of many Australians — either directly or indirectly — so it's a pretty big deal. These meetings happen eight times a year so every month or so there's another update. Let's get up to speed on where we're at and what to expect. Tomorrow. The RBA board has a two-day meeting on Monday and Tuesday. No-one can say for sure, but many economists are predicting a cash rate cut on Tuesday. For example, Reuters asked 37 economists and 31 of them are banking on a cut this week — the other six reckon rates won't change at this meeting. Currently, the cash rate target is 3.85 per cent. This figure is often referred to as "the interest rate" in conversation, but it's not the rate people with mortgages pay. "The cash rate is the interest rate that banks pay to borrow funds from other banks in the money market overnight," the RBA's website says. "It influences all other interest rates, including mortgage and deposit rates." That's why, if you're paying interest on a loan, your interest rate is probably higher than 3.85 per cent. When the RBA changes the cash rate target, interest rates for mortgages don't automatically change — the individual banks decide that. We're expecting rates to be cut by 0.25 per cent. That would take the new cash rate down to 3.6 per cent. Not until the Tuesday afternoon. Typically, the RBA publishes its decision at about 2:30pm AEST — this happens after every meeting. The ABC team will be live blogging the RBA announcement right here on our website. If the RBA does cut rates, it'll be up to the banks to decide if they'll pass that cut on to customers. So if you have a mortgage, you'll have to wait to hear from your lending institution about whether your rates are changing. We typically hear from the major banks within a few hours of the RBA's decision though — so you probably won't have to wait very long. Again, we can't say for sure, but we can look to economists for their predictions. Here's what the major banks say: Two. The RBA board cut the cash rate from 4.35 to 4.1 after the meeting in February. It cut it again after the most recent meeting in May, lowering it to 3.85. The RBA will meet eight times this year. Here are the dates listed on the Reserve Bank's website:

Zeekr's new mid-sized SUV to arrive in Australia
Don't miss out on the headlines from On the Road. Followed categories will be added to My News. Tesla's hold on Australia's electric vehicle market is set to face a fresh challenge with the arrival of Zeekr's medium-sized electric SUV. The Chinese manufacturer will launch its new Zeekr 7X model in coming weeks, positioning the car as a direct rival to the Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7, and other popular mid-size electric SUVs already available in the country. Zeekr launched in Australia with the smaller X, a compact SUV that doesn't match the space of Tesla's best-selling Model Y. But the new model is ready to take on the top EVs in the market today. Building on the momentum from its recent launch in Hong Kong, the Zeekr 7X has strong potential in Australia. 2025 Zeekr 7X. (Picture: Supplied) MORE: The new EVs for Elon haters The company believes the 7X will carve out its niche with its focus on spaciousness and premium features. There will be three distinct models heading to Australia's shores: the Rear-Wheel Drive (standard range), the Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range, and the Performance All-Wheel Drive variants. The standard RWD model has a 71 kWh battery paired with a powerful 310kW/440 Nm rear motor, delivering a claimed range of 480km. If you're looking for more than that, the RWD Long Range model retains the robust 310kW motor while introducing a 94kWh battery, which boosts the WLTP range to 615km – a substantial 28 per cent increase. Finally, the Performance AWD trim keeps the 94 kWh battery while adding an additional front electric motor, which increases the total output to 475kW and 710 Nm of torque. This allows for impressive acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. However, this performance is accompanied by a slight reduction in driving range, now 543 km, based on WLTP standards. The 7X promises a higher level of luxury compared to the Tesla, featuring amenities such as 'polar bear' air suspension with variable height adjustment (only available in the All-Wheel-Drive variant), Nappa leather interiors, and advanced cabin technology.

(Picture: Supplied) We tested the model in a sneak preview earlier this year, when Matt Campbell found that the car has 'all the ingredients to get it right' – as long as Zeekr can price the car competitively. Though pricing has not been officially announced, speculation suggests the 7X Rear-Wheel Drive model could start at approximately $65,000 to $70,000 before on-road costs. The Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range version is expected to be priced around $75,000, while the All-Wheel Drive variant is likely to fall between $80,000 and $85,000. If these figures are accurate, it would place the 7X $6,000 to $10,000 higher than that of a comparable Tesla Model Y. MORE: Aussies 'shafted' in cops' AI move 2025 Zeekr 7X electric car. Picture: Supplied The Zeekr brand aims to express its innovative discoveries through groundbreaking technology, and the 7X exemplifies this with its impressive charging capabilities. The vehicle features an 800V architecture that enables it to charge from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in just 10 minutes. It supports both 22kW AC charging and 450kW DC fast charging, allowing for an addition of 241 km of range in only 5 minutes. Luggage capacity is a generous 616 litres, and all models include a 'frunk' – a front trunk – offering 62L of space in rear-wheel drive models and 44L in dual-motor versions. 2025 Zeekr 7X electric car.

Pitched as an extreme measure to help people survive cars submerged underwater, the escape mechanism is triggered by a lever under the steering wheel that uses a spring-loaded metal punch to shatter the driver's window. The feature is only available in left-hand-drive models for now.
